Hello, I am seeking practical advice on calibers for rifle for 300-1000 yard large game hunting.
I am familiar w/ bolt action 300 Win mag, having hunted w/ it at/under 300 yards quite a bit w/ great success. To clarify i sold my 300 WM 4 years ago and have been deer hunting w/ 220 Savage bolt 20 G w/ great success, and shifted down to 30-06. So I need another 300 WM or something else: I have no issues w/ 300 WM, sure it kicks, but at least I know what to expect.
What about 338 Win Mag? Pros/cons compared to 300 Win Mag?
What about brakes or compensators?
Other calibers w/o getting into Lala Land on ammo?
I want comparisons in practical application for hunting, not esoteric physics thesis please. For EX: The 338 can do X better than 300 Win Mag, vice versa, cost of ammo, etc.
Thanks and Long Live a Free America and Thanks to all of our Veterans
