335yds with a 338, that’s darn near point-blank range for that caliber. (No, I’m not denigrating her skills, it still takes skill to hit anything with accuracy at that range, just that caliber packs a LOT of joules at that range)
No arguments here ,that is the reason l think this custom rifle combination is IMO the perfect Long Range Hunting kit, capable of everything from close range to 1000 yards +.
During my Military service & Guiding around the world l have used most calibers & this out performs them all by a long way in the field ,l made the longest shot of my Military & Hunting life in the field ,1235 yards on a 204lb Wild Boar with it a couple of months ago .
Nice. I'm a 300WM guy, and the longest I can consistently hit a dinner plate at is 1000yds, which is still hard AF with Leupold glass that only goes to 14.5 (I'm not a fan of high magnification scopes -- I need higher contrast for my old eyes). If I was picking one caliber to do it all, I'd probably go with 338, too.
The 300 is a great hunting round ,very popular with a lot of clients ,l am with you & do not like extreme high mag scopes that have come into fashion of late.
