Personal opinion is, get a 338AI Lapua and if its built well the 338 standard rounds should give you desent accuracy out of the rifle. Shoot for 13 pounds with a 4 or 5 port break and wear ear plugs when shooting. Run the 285 Amax/300 Berger and now you have something that can do the 1000yrd +. I personally have a 300 RUM and trying to find brass sucks. All the Remington brass is gone. Now you are going to pay for the Nosler stuff and you just might as well have a 338 when paying for this. Price is about the same now. Or like most have said get the 300WM. Very good all around magnum that can do heavies as well as the light stuff for closer in or lighter animals. Its hard to beat the tried and true 300WM for performance, and cost effectiveness. Also I think you can shoot it a good amount with out destroying the barrel quickly. When the barrel is burned out of mine I will probably do a 7mm-300win mag or if I'm still crazy enough I will go to the 338 edge and just suck up the cost of the brass.
