I have hunted where the rifle caliber of choice was the 340Weatherby.It was the north west corner of the province,towards the Alaska border.Shots of 400 yards in the willow brush,that far north the tree line is pretty low, were not uncommon.Big moose,250# a quarter and grizzly bears.I have always thought a 338RUM would be a more better. I remember one hunter saying," I do OK with my little 300Win."

I ran IMR7828 out to the end with the first barrel,it was very lineal.My experence with RL-25 was not so posistive,each shot the velocity increased a fair bit,likely from barrel heat.Others who also do load developement over a Chrony ,have noted the same effect.
