338 RPM success

[Choupique]

Any thoughts on 338 for smaller animals like Whitetail deer

Ive shot a pile of them with a 338 win mag. Works great with heavy bonded bullets.

Weatherby does not offer a short barrel .338 RPM in current production. I really liked the idea of the 18-20” but wonder what prompted the change.

Last yr I bought ammo from Weatherby for 20 or 25% off on Black Friday.

I’ve killed a half dozen TX deer and probably 20 hog with a .338 Federal Kimber Montana chopped to 16”, Ballistic little brother. Just make sure your bullet design matches your ranges and impact velocities.

Not sure what you mean? Just bought a 338 RPM Backcountry 2.0 with the 18” (20” with brake). Plenty available new on Gunbroker. Same one user NONTYP is using. It is THE gun I’ve been searching for. Checks all the boxes.

I'm trying to decide between a 338 Lapua vs a 338 Weatherby RPM for an Alaskan hunting rifle...

Fierce Rage CT has a carbon fiber 338 Lapua that weighs around 6.1lb pounds.

What are the specific differences in felt recoil and bullet performance between the two? For a long range moose, elk or caribou rifle which bullet would have the advantage ?
