I just picked up a Ruger 77 in .338 win mag. I have wanted a .338 for a long time, but the price on this gun (stainless and with a Knoxx stock and JP muzzle brake) was too good to pass up.
I know the Win Mag is not really designed as a long range rifle round like the Lapua was, but it can shoot 300 grain bullets with the twist rate (1:10") on this barrel and should have minimal recoil. The question is, do you think it will perform better than I can get with my .308 700 or my NM M1A? I have a BOSS outfitted BAR in .300 WM, but I don't think it is really cut out for paper-punching.
Any experience with long range shooting (600+ yards) and the .338 WM? I know this really isn't a target rifle, but it is my entry gun in the medium bores.
