Ive been mulling a new rifle purchase, and have whittled it down to two calibers- .340 Weatherby Mag and .338 Win Mag. I will be handloading either choice, and am wondering if anyone has experience working with the .340, and what kind of results you got. Yes, I am aware that .338 Win Mag will more likely be available if an airline 'mishap' occurs, so save that advice please.
A .30-06 has been my workhorse, but i'm looking to step up. It should be noted that the caliber chosen will be used to hunt elk, moose, and possibly brown bears. I would be good with my trusty '06 on these animals as well (well, the bear gives me pause), but think some added power couldn't hurt. And I gets me a new rifle. Win-win.
