I'm sorry if I offend the sensibilities of some members but I'm definitely a .270 Winch. man!
I love the 250-3000, a superbly balanced cartridge that requires a 10 " twist to get the most out of its capabilities.
The .338 is excellent, especially with us, continental hunters, on heavy game and although it isn't purely an US creation the .300H&H is my second favorite cartridge ... after the .270WCF.

I just saw this, hope it is not too late to reply.
You love the .250-3000, but did not mention the .257 Roberts. I am curious why. I moved to Canada from the USA was surprised to discover the .257 Roberts is almost unknown here. Ammunition is not for sale and most people have never heard of the cartridge. In the USA, the Roberts is fairly common and has a long history as a factory offering.
Is the .257 Roberts unknown in Europe so you prefer the .250-3000?
The Roberts has slightly better ballistics and is almost perfectly balanced re case volume. But more importantly, the Roberts is a necked-down 7x57 so a simple rebarrel in a '98.
