Ive owned two different 338WM's and just could never feel the love. I think much of it had to do with 33s never being popular in the US. That's a shame too; because we all know its a good cartridge. Given a choice, Id still take the 9.3x62, its got pinache.
That's because it had that silly belt.
Actually the .338Win Mag is farily common here...used by many for elk...225gr slug coming out of one is fairly substantial on impact...
I have used the .338RUM a few times but personally feel its over the top for elk..just don't need that much horsepower..shot one once at about200 yards..complete penetration from stem to stern with 250gr A-Frames...
