Actually not too bad in the wind once I realized my 7RM scope is mils and my 6.5 scope is moa. Mil to mil isn’t off too bad with my mellow loads in eldm to eldm.
I used to use 338WM and a 375HH for elk. I now use a 338Fed or a 7mm-08 for both deer and elk. Occasionally, I use a 270 or a 30-06 but the 338Fed gets the most use. I have never had a deer take a step after being hit with a 200 grainer from the Fed. I prefer a bigger bullet but at moderate velocity rather than magnum velocities. Critters still die and my shoulder feels way better.
Great minds think alike. Both my 338Fed and 7mm-08 are built on Remington 600 actions, 21” barrels with McMillan Mountain rifle stocks and Swarovski scopes. The only difference is the barrel contour. I had to go with a Lilja#2 for the 338 vice a #1 for the 7mm-08.Very similar to the combo I’ve settled on- 338-284 (just a touch faster than 338 federal, likely meaningless, but I like to be different), and 7-08 improved. Both 20”, in identical rifles. Both very reasonable in terms of recoil. No need for magnums for me.
