Roy...
I was up to the Ridgway Rifle Club on Saturday morn to shoot my steel plate at 1000yds with the 338 T. It shot flatter at that distance by 14 clicks than my chart said. Anyhow after the first shot went directly over, no wind at 8:00 am. I asjusted and was on the [plate with the 2nd round. Then I confirmed my 840 yd clicks on a bowling ball that was hanging on a rope. Did you ever shoot one of those things. Pretty neat to watch them swing when you hit them. First shot was high there also. Anyhow so I adjusted my chart for those to yardages and shot a few more rounds to confirm the clicks by going up to the steel then back to the plate. Worked OK until I knocked my plate over. Previously, one of the chains broke off and I coulcn't suspend it so I just propped it up against a couple of 2x4's. About that time some guys came with lever guns to practice for a shoot at 10:00 and I never did get to go retrieve my plate to see what kind of damage it did. Maybe someday I'll get up ther to get it and take some pics to post.
Why are you selling your 338? Dumb question

I know since it doesn't make any difference what you carry cause you don't see elk you might as well carry the lighter 270. How's that, answered my own question.
