Enough of the gear-queeritry about hot rod sniper rounds. The dude needs to learn how to shoot at 600 yards with a .308

Buying .338 before learning how to shoot a .308 well is like buying a Porsche before figuring out a manual transmission car.

There isn't anything realistic that he needs a .338 for that a .308 cannot do for him for much cheaper while teaching fundamentals.

You only get good at the gun you actually shoot. The .338 is the wrong answer in that equation. It's perfect everywhere else.

And for those of us on a budget, .300 Win Mag makes a helluva lot more sense than saving for a box of law-poo-uh all year.

/hasn't shot anything other than 5.56 / 7.62 intermediate cartridges in a million years
