.338 Debate: The Big-Bore Backcountry Cartridge Shootout

SHOW NOTES Why the .338? As listener @Alaskanexile1 said, "If I'm carrying my .338, I never have the 'wrong' rifle."  Inherently superior ballistic coefficient to the 8mm's, .35's, and .375's.  Excellent sectional density (a measure of penetrating ability) Heavy but controllable recoil A lot more terminal performance than the .30 calibers The significance of the .338's frontal diameter How does it compare to the .375's for big bears?  SPECIFIC .338 CARTRIDGES .338-06 .338 Win. Mag.  33 Nosler .340 Weatherby .338 Rem. Ultra Mag .338 Lapua .338-378 Weatherby Which one's right for you?  RESOURCES Winchester Rifles RIfle's Inc. (custom gunsmith)
