Where i hunt moose, shots can be far. I mean real far. I used a 30-06 once, a 300RUM another time, and now will take my 7mmSTW. But, a 338 is not a bad choice.

I should mention the reason I choose .300 and .338 is thats what others in my group shoot and if in a bind ammo and such could be shared, I really just want the best shooting really I have shot a moose with a .338 and it dropped it hard, aswell I have seen the .300 plant them too..were we hunt shots can be far aswell.

I can't say I have ever seen a hunter carry a 338 in Newfoundland where I go. But if I was hunting in BC or Alaska, I might consider it for a good combo rifle.
