[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1517676, member: 55944"] Of your options, I would choose the 300 win mag for the 30 calibers or a 338 EDGE (300 RUM necked to 338) for the .338 caliber. The 300 win mag is everything a long range hunting cartridge needs to be and nothing it doesn't, it just works especially with a 212 eld-x or 215 Berger moving around 2900-3000 fps. I have a thread called "300 win mag long range fun" where a buddy and I went hunting this fall and he shot a deer just past 1,000 yds. I watched it drop like a rock in the spotting scope. It wasn't a spine shot either it was a double lung shot with the 220gr eld-x. The 300 win mag feeds better from a magazine than the 300 Rum and has less recoil but very similar ballistics. The reason I'd choose the 338 edge is it will push the 300gr bullets with more velocity than the 338 Lapua or the 338 Rum and can run on a standard magnum bolt instead of needing the larger bolt face.
