Steigers didn't think the 338 was any big deal. He felt the 35's of similar velocity levels were more gun,a step up.
He liked the 300 Weatherby if you were going to shoot a 30 caliber magnum.
But he figured if you were going to get a medium bore for elk hunting(he DID believe in them), stop screwing around and get a 375 AI.He use the 250 BBC at 3150 and the 275 at 2950.
The last I spoke with him before he died, Bill told me if he were doing it today he would get a 375 RUM as a medium bore.
Of course he also had a rifle built on an Enfield action modified by Tom Burgess and chambered for the 45/404AI.
I bet that thing would curl your hair when it went off.
