[QUOTE="57goldtopman, post: 1056191, member: 88062"] I have a hunch that the reason many people keep shooting down the 338 Lapua is because of hearsay. Just like anything else, one bad issue usually outdoes a 100 goods. it's just how things are spread around. I do have to say, it is nice to see there are many more 338 positive people out there than I expected. one thing I am learning from reading online....doesn't matter what cartridge/rifle/scope you get....there will always be nay-sayers or "this is better". nothing out there is perfect. so I am getting to the point of "get what you like, learn to use it right and make it work for you" . As for starting with the 6.5 Creedmoor to learn long range shooting then upgrade...I have never had that mentality. tried it. doesn't work. reason....each and every time you change equipment to upgrade, you lose $$. nobody will ever get their money back on equipment resale. better off, if affordable, getting the equipment you want and learn how to use it. if it were up to some people their idea would be (if you are just getting into shooting to hunt) first get a BB gun. learn that well. get a 22...learn to shoot that. get a 243...learn to shoot that...get a 308....and so on. yes I have already done some long range shooting. went up to 1200 yards with my 300 ultra. recently went up to 1275 yards using a Knights Armament in 308 with SF guy. He is who is responsible for my getting into long range again. to me not much compares to long range shooting and all that is required to get there. [/QUOTE]
