338 cal worth it

Good video. Not sure about the ranking but I like all the guns. I would love to own a few of those. Proof Research is my next high end gun. Not sure of the caliber yet.

For a switch barrel rifle I’d highly consider going custom in you’re interested in shooting the heavier 338 bullets. I’m also strongly point one to the 338 Norma Magnum as it was designed for this exact purpose.

Now I don’t want people to believe that there isn’t a significant power jump in going to a 338 from a 30 cal. There is… the same way there’s a benefit going from 6.5 or 270 to a 30 cal. There’s a benefit to the larger frontal area and if using the right bullets using a 225-300+ grain bullet. You’re not going to get the upper end even in a 300 PRC albeit a good choice for all-around hunting.

Yes there’s benefits to going up to the 37-41 caliber rifles but you’ll actually get more range from the 338’s short of using exotic wildcats in custom rifles. Most dangerous game hunting is done REALLY close so maximum damage is paramount. Range isn’t usually the greatest consideration.
