DAMN I like my .338.

Here's a chambering that, in a relatively light rifle (M700 XCR) is completely shootable with maximum 225-gn loads... is sub-MOA accurate... brass life appears to be eternal (have not worn any out yet and I'm trying!) and it puts large animals DOWN!

And, in terms of velocity, it slots nicely in there in my favorite "window" where just about all bullets work great: a MV of 2800, 2900 fps or so. Impact velocity of 2000 t0 2800. Perfect.

What's not to like? This may be the single best caliber there is, for general big-game hunting.

I'm in love. You should be too.
