The same rifle and Winchester 230 grain ammo did well in RSA too, making one shot kills on7 critters from Impala to Eland.


Yeah the 338 Win Mag doesn’t get much love anymore, but it is one hellava field cartridge on most any game around the globe. 160 gr-300 gr class bullets are about as good as it gets for versatility for a one gun hunter. Great bullet designs, great terminal ballistics, and great selection of ammunition worldwide. I’ve always favored mine for elk in my younger days and it never disappointed. These days I’m more inclined to utilize my 308 Win.



I think the .338WM is pretty hard to beat. I have had 2 built one on a ZG-47 (large ring) and one on a g33/40 (small ring). Both have been used to take elk <100yds to 400+yds.
