I hear you guys, Old Shoulder here. ha I just got back from the range. Took the 338, 25-06 and the 243. It became apparent that while I could still shoot it, the 338 was getting to be just too much of a good thing. Top it off, this rifle does not like the 200 NBT/Varget loads at all, but wadded in the 280gr Hammers! And they hammered me, ha. I can still shoot a 300WM in the right set up ( for me, the Bergara B14 Hunter with no brake and a good pad is just as easy to shoot as the CA Mesa with brake in 300WM! ) So, I'm selling old Thumper. The 25-06 and 52gr R16/97gr Power Hammers cluster together!! Sweet. Thanks again guys!
