I personally appreciate every new medium bore cartridge that comes out.

I dont find any of them to be be rendundant whatsoever.

Nowhere near as redundant, as the sea of 20 something caliber gopher bullet crowd.

A moderate powered 338 is an ideal mountain rifle in grizzly or brown bear country.

On my 338 rcm carbine, the scope is sighted to a 225 grain bonded boat tail for the mountains or winter caribou.

The open sights are sighted to a 275 grain swift a-frame load. My intent, is to stash the scope after a sheep is taken, and hike out with the 275 grainers for any unexpected, head on shots.




I hope it does well. Be cool to see some folks making brass other than Wby for them, but even then, It should be a handy rifle that allows 5 rounds in the gun. Be a great cartridge to build around.
