It will kill anything in North America, except the big bears. Who the fu ck told you that?
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego.

When I had my 30-338 built, it started as a 300 winmag in a Ruger77. Their mag wells are to short for the 300WM imo.

My memory ain't what it used to be. I checked my rifle last nite when I got home it does not have a 28" barrel it's 30". The rifle is 50" total length yeah it's a big damn gun and probably wouldn't make a good brush gun.
30" .644" at the muzzle weighs in at 11 lbs. The guy who had it made wanted it for long range elk hunting. Originally set up to use the 180 gr NBT which is still a good bullet but with the recent developments of the 215 Bergers , Hornady ELD X heavies and Nosler Accubonds their maybe even better choices for LR. Gotta burn some more powder in this one this winter. One of the more consistent qualities it has is that every time someone else handles it they immediately start whining about how long the barrel is. That is how you separate shooters from whiners, the few that have shot it besides myself understand the utility of it's length after they shot it and quit whining about it. MB
" Cheapest velocity in the world comes from a long barrel and I sure do like them. MB "

I may just have to buy that 308 Norma die set from you and we'll go show these guys what that sob will do to a big bear....

Sounds like:
1. Idiot shooters
2. Poor bullet choice
3. All of the above

3. All of the above For the record, I'm decidedly pro-idiot-shooting. There should be a season, with regs and tags.
