[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 602051, member: 10291"] I voted for the 338, because of the 1000 yard requirement for elk and oryx. Not that the 300's wouldn't work, but I have hunted oryx(gemsbok) in Africa and didn not feel overguned with a 375H&H. They were very smart, tough, hard to hunt, and liked to hug the brush, very rarely giving you a clean broadside shot. A big heavy bullet can drive through to the vitals with angled shots which may be your only shot on a good animal. Also, as has now happened with me, after mastering my 1000 yard range requirement, I'm seeking more challenge and ready to extend further. As long as you are considering the big magnums, might as well go all the way. [/QUOTE]
