I must disagree with Rick on the .338 shooting as flat as the .300's.. I have used both and the .300 is much flatter..

Also for years I have heard the reaction of an animal hit with a .33 is much more noticeable.. I suppose I have shot somewhere around a dozen to fifteen head of game with several .338's and a .340.. They kill well, but no better than the .30's.. I like most rifles, but when I leave the .30 cal. level, I would skip the .33's and move right on up to my .375..

Still a .338 is a good caliber.. I would buy one just to see how it preformed.. But have been there done that 30 years ago.
