[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3028484, member: 11459"] I'm glad those work from you. I've had a couple 338WM's and a 338RUM. I don't shoot them well, poor shooting is how animals are wounded and judging by the fact there's people successfully hunting elk with 223's I certainly don't think that I need a 338 to kill and elk nor will I entertain something I already know won't work for me. I have also owned two 257 Weatherbys. Neither shot well with factory ammo and the ammo is non existent. Zero interest in it. The options listed and parameters are what works for me. This will be the last far off the reservation comment that I respond to. If people want to waste their time with stuff like this fine, but you're not going to convince me to go with anything remotely in the realm of this. This is why I'm heavily leaning towards the 7PRC in either, just trying to decide how beneficial it would be to hunt suppressed. I would say of all the options I'm probably mostly leaning towards the PH2 in 7PRC. If I decide I want the suppressor I can have a shorter barrel made for it and have two barrels (two different chamber options if I want) and a more shootable rifle. Ammo options just doubled this year for it so it's certainly gaining traction and I think it will continue to do so, so that isn't a concern of mine. I recently got a Seekins 6ARC gas gun and every Hornady load absolutely hammers in it so I'm pretty confident in factory ammo working well in it. If for some reason it didn't I could just as easily send it in to have a 7RM barrel made for it too and have a ton of ammo options. [/QUOTE]
