[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 1057211, member: 21869"] This is soooo funny to me because where I hunt and live the 338 has been used alot.When I was in high school and went to hunting camp that had 30 hard MT hunters there where 270's to 375 H&H,many 338 and 340wby at camp.Lets see the 340 been around since 1963 I believe,in the circles of hard core elk hunter that I run where we have 35-60 elk a piece 30-338 rule. I also have a friend pushing 35+ elk with his 270,but not any long range.And many of my friends that already shot 338 wins or similar moved up to 300-338 ultras or /weatherbys.We hunt real hard,steep tough terrain and LR helps success,but many shots arent that long always.When packing my 340 I ran into 2 others packing same one day in the high country.The 338 very popular out hear n nw MT.In 2010 I was the only guy I new in valley w/338NM,now I know 6 guys with them that many with 338 ultras and 300 and 338 nm improved and lapuas and hand full 338/378,HUH? We are putting the hurt and things with many 330+ bulls,200'' muleys,big moose and other [/QUOTE]
