[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1041962, member: 33822"] I have a 338-300 WSM built on a Winchester short action and a 24" pac-nor ultralight contour barrel. It's a perfect ultralight setup that is fast to draw and shoot in the thick forests. With a scope the rifle weighs in around 7.25 lbs. I agree that you could go with a 338 win mag or a 338-06 and any of them will get the job done. I like that my 338wsm is built on a short action, so that's an advantage it has over the others. It will better the velocity of a 338-06, and come very very close to the 338 win mag. Overall it has given excellent accuracy and is very efficient. I"ve shot a whole bunch of elk with it ranging from 30 yards out to beyond 600. I shoot the 210 TTSX at ~2850 fps and the 225 Accubond at ~2775 for my accurate loads. I neck up 325wsm brass and shoot H4350 (or RL17 if I can't find H4350). I have shot a few elk with the 250 Accubond out of this rifle, but the recoil was a bit severe. [/QUOTE]
