Thank you for your answers and interest, I do not think I ever buy a rifle in a large caliber cartridge, I do think that I will think of a rifle in a cartridge that complements the 338 WM type 270 Winchester, 270 WSM, 280 Remington, 257 Weatherby Magnum of which I have read that it is lightning) or the like. But for now and with the little game that I practice, the 338 covers all my expectations. And if in some hunt is pulled very close I take the shotgun of the caliber 12 and with this weapon (repeater Benelli) I believe that up to 50 meters what the bullet touch leaves it on the site.

regards

Remington.

Just an FYI regarding the .257 Weatherby..I used that caliber A LOT for pronghorn and deer..actually just broke it out the other day and got one of them sighted in for the upcomoing season..incredibly devastating on anything I have shot with it..because of its speed I have stuck primarily with 100gr Barners Triple Shocks..have used Nosler Ballistic tips when I really want to blow things up (prairie dogs, coyotes, wolves

I have loaded mine anywhere from 3670fps to 3750fps ---depending on powder, etc...the 257W shoots like a 22-250 with double the bullet weight..really enjoy that caliber..

Built two on Remington actions, one on a titanium action the other on a standard stainless..put Hart barrels on both..both will shoot under 1/2" groups all day long..

Tried the Weatherby lightweight models, I was NOT a fan..and accuracy was not what I want nor expect, so went the custom route...
