Have a chance to buy a Winchester with Leupold scope and never owned this caliber before and wondering what's the good and bad of this caliber? Also what game have you taken with it? Also what grain and bullet you use?
...........Imo for elk and larger game, the 338 is one of the most versatile, if not the most versatile big game caliber on the planet. The only con is if you couldn't handle the recoil and subsequently would be unpleasant to shoot from the bench. If recoil isn't an issue then go for it.....ABSOLUTELY.......
For my 338 so far, I have only loaded up 225 grainers. Haven't taken any game with mine yet.
When it comes to the 338 Win Mag, I think you can be rest assured, that as long as you do your part, your end result in the field will only come to one outstanding conclusion........
