swede, my .338 had a 26" barrel.. I shot mostly 210 noslers and 250's.. Now have its big brother the 340.. Personally, I like it much more.. Am using Accubonds now in 225 and some 200..Killed three elk and one whitetail with it.. Haven't used it in probably 6-8 years.. In my country the .300 is more useful, but the .340 and .338 are fine rounds..
