There are two reasons for choosing the 300 over a 338. I don't think there is a factory rifle with heavy barrel made in 338 to start me off with.
The second is my local range won't allow the big 338's to be shot there...not sure why.
Finally, I figured the 300rum would be a good starting point that when the barrel is stuffed, I can easily change barrels up to a 338edge or the like with minimum fuss.
Sound reasonable?
(With the only exception being a new range will need to be found between now and then.)
Experience is something you get, just after you needed it.
