I will stay with the 338 Win. It is about as well balanced as any caliber I know of and its in the same action as the 338-06 and I can't tell any difference in recoil between the two..If I want one of the other .338 calibers mentioned then I could just load down to those specs..My present 338 weighs 8.5 lbs. with a 24 inch barrel. I have trouble deciding if I like the .338 or the 9.3x62 the best. I suppose the .338 would win out on that one??
Probably if push came to shove I'd go with the .338 Win. as my one and only caliber. It has served me so well and I have shot up to a Cape Buffalo with it.
Bottom line is it will do anything any other .338 caliber will do and it does it better, all things considered, IMO..
My two chosen loads are the 210 Nosler at 3005 FPS and the 300 gr. Woodligh at 2500 FPS, both shoot to the same POI other than the 210 is an inch higher, but that works perfect putting the 210 gr. 3" high at 100 and the 300 gr. 2 inches high at 100 with no change in the sight in...
