I prefer Stainless and synthetic. Not uncommon to have bad weather. However, blue will do. I've mostly used a 338WM. I like the caliber. Nothing mysterious about it. I have seen some bang, flops, but I will certainly say not all of them have been. You don't always get a perfect shot. Hence you won't always get perfect shot placement. My best bull was in some thick trees facing away from me and looking back over his shoulder. 2 shots with my 375 H&H did the job. As many have said use the rifle, you shoot well and are confident in, and a premium bullet.
