There is a dizzying array of calibres available for the hunter to choose from – Will O’Meara helps cut through the confusion and make the right choice
.338
.338 Win Mag
The .338 Win Mag may just be the most usable and versatile calibre around – certainly a serious contender for North American big game.
.338 Lapua
The .338 Lapua is unlikely ever to be considered as a viable hunting calibre in the UK, although it is being used for long-distance target shooting. As you might expect, though, the Americans haven’t shied away from harnessing the impressive ballistics on live quarry.
