I am not sure I care so much about whats going to be around for how long. I have two 338 RCM's and have enough enough brass to shoot out at least one of the barrels if not both. if you want off the shelf ammo neither 33806 or 338 RCM would be on my list although there is 338 RCM on the shelves at the two shops I visit regularly, haven't checked for 338-06. If you want off the self ammo I would stick to30.06 or 338wm or if you have to have a short mag 300wsm.


While I like the ballistics of the 338 RCM or 338-06, one of the beauties of the original 338 RCM was the nifty little package Ruger put it in. If I wanted a LW 338RCM I might hunt down one of those and put it in a LW stock.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
