Quote: LOL - the belted mangle-ums are a thing of the past it seems, with the rimless cases taking over. Afterall, the belts are superfluous. The .375 Ruger necked down might seal the fate of the .338 Winnie.
My comments do not address the popularity of the .338 Win Mag. It is for sure, a popular ctg. here in B.C. for hunting moose and elk. Many hunters have one and are very happy with their performance on moose, elk and grizzlies.
