I cannot not figure out why beartooth is being so defensive over the 338 Winchester Magnum. Was there a recent thread bashing this fine round? If so then direct me to the thread. I would like to read what is wrong with the our most popular .338 cartridge.
I own a Weatherby MKV ClassicMark Rifle chambered in the 340 Weatherby. Fine rifle and cartridge. That rifle is pictured on top.
I also own a Savage 338 Winchester Magnum. Fine rifle and cartridge. Pictured in the middle. Current scope problems is the reason for the absence of one. This is a fine long distance big game round and deserves a scope.
And I own a Remington 700 Chambered in the 257 Weatherby Magnum pictured on the bottom. Again, fine rifle and cartridge.
The Winchester 338 Magnum and 340 Weatherby Magnum are close enough in performance that I doubt anyone can ever tell the difference on game. If you need more gun that a 338 Winchester magnum then you need a bigger caliber...not a 340 Weatherby Magnum. And while both the 340 and 338 would make great deer calibers I'll stick with smaller calibers for that endeavor. Hunting/shooting is suppose to be fun. I advise everyone to pick whichever caliber they like and enjoy shooting.
Now point me to those guys who mocking the 338 Winchester. I could use a good laugh!
