[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 3059712, member: 15399"] I love my 340Wby and use it for most all my elk and Alaska hunting. Had my Rem 700 in 300Wby rebarreled and bedded by Guy Malmborg of Salt Lake City, as he was referred to me by Ackley in his late years. I shot a 5pt bull in early 2000’s in Meeker with the 338/378 behind the shoulder and it didn’t react at all. Knowing I hit him good, I watched him as he walked 30 yards and collapsed. Whether 340 or 338/378, from 100 to 400 yards I’ve always gotten complete penetration with Nosler Partitions. Although the 340Wby has slightly less velocity, it is a couple pounds lighter than my buddy’s 338/378 thus much more comfortable to carry. Down here in the Deep South, my son loves the 338 Fed for whitetails, hogs and other critters. I’ve tailored a load for his Kimber 84M and just can’t believe what a fine rifle that is for being excessively light - near 6lbs with scope. 338 is definitely an excellent game getter, always leaving a good blood trail!
