[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1804269, member: 26227"] I own a 338 Win Mag and a 338 Lapua Mag. I would never give up either one. both shoot well, the only thing I would change about either one is the barrel twist rate. I like the 1:8" twist 0.338" barrels for 1K+ shooting. I have shot both of my rifles at 1K+. My slugs start destabilizing and have heavy wind deflection after 1200 yards. I shot a friend's 338 Win Mag with a 1:9" and the result for me was less degrading accuracy at 1000+. I then went to another friend with the exact Sako TRG-42 I have with one small difference, he sent it back and had the 1:8" twist barrel put on it. we were shooting 2K and the accuracy had not degraded one bit from 1K to 1760 Yards and beyond. these tests were with 300 M/K's and 250 grain M/K's. for accuracy at range and brass availability.. I would say Win Mag and Lapua. I have no idea what a few of those 338's are. I have heard of 33 Nosler, 338 Edge, and 338 Rum (shot this one). the others I have never heard of. of those three I think I would say the RUM for brass, and the Edge for accuracy. My preferred long range accuracy is my 338 Lapua. However if you must have more speed then by all means go get the RUM or EDGE(current 2 mile king). [/QUOTE]
