338 win mag is the most ideal of these. Best blend of all.

If Im in Alaska I'm definitely going .338 wm or .338 Lepua for the exact reason of the grizzly bears!!! Boy sighting in my old .338 win mag it literally penetrated through a thick massive tree at 100 yards I was very impressed. The .338 slugs sure do smack very hard!!! I love my .300 and it does great out in the west but it definitely has its limits as in yea will be good in Alaska but man I know what those grizzleys can do and if they charge I want the biggest thumper possible! Moose meat is the best meat on the planet hands down it tastes sweet like theres a little brown sugar infused in the meat!!!! Elk at #2

338 lapua mag 225 gr. I have taken a gray squirrel and a red squirrel at over 150 yds .head shots afcorse. Ironman in Alabama 73s

Having owned all 3 cartridges, I can honestly say the 338 win mag is my favorite . Recoil isn't sharp, just a very manageable push. More economical to reload than the lapua and a little more thump than the 300 wm.

I absolutely love my lapua. But I hike arpund with my 308 till I find an elk out of range go back to my truck and grab the lapua. You definitely don't pack it around but with the mini 50cal muzzle break the recoil is very minimal close to a 243. I reload both its fun.

That was great. I hunt elk and use the 338 win. Works. Great.

My .338 Win Mag SAKO is pretty versatile. 200 gr is great for hogs, 230 gr Oryx works on deer moose and bears.

Funny! I listen to the podcast on my way to the range twice a week on my drive in and back home… gradually working through all the old poddies and the occasional recent one… this is the first time I have actually seen the host. One minute in and I thought I know that voice and then realised the channel I was on. Keep up the good work! 🏆🤘 All the best from the UK 🇬🇧

I really enjoyed this comparison and how thoroughly everything was covered. I have had the privilege recently of shooting 338 Lapua and 33 XC. I have absolutely no reason to lug around platforms like these, with this much mustard. However, I am a long time sentimental to the 338 win mag. This is far more practical for me to use to humanely dispatch anything I'll ever hunt at ethical distances. So out of all the 33 bore cartridges, this should be what I would choose. Thank you very much for your time and effort in producing these videos as always!

I was on a bow hunt for Caribou in Alaska a few years ago. Caribou were scarce and at long Range in the open country . I resorted to borrowing my Eskimo friends .338 Lapua and took one at around 600 yards. It did it’s job well. I have purchased a 338 Winchester Magnum for elk and Alaska game but have not given it a test run yet but believe it will perform well.

I had the pleasure of doing a share and shoot with the British Army in Afghanistan once and had the immense pleasure of shooting the L115A3 with a suppressor on it (cool factor). They doped the scope for me, but I was able to put all 10 rounds that I shot on a 10" plate at 1000 yards. Since then, I've always wanted one. Although a bit (way) out of my price range, I've always wanted one. I will have a .338 LM, although not that one. I'm 5'5" and 120lbs and the recoil was just fine to me. Just really fell in love with the rifle. About as much love for it as the McMillan TAC-50.

AAAHHHHH!!! The Lapua 338 Mag with Recoil Suppression and a Muzzle Brake Suppressor, Barnes TTSX BT 280 grain (high BC) and a very long barrel, of 30" or longer, can give a Ram or Sheep a "kiss of death" at about a mile. It is good for anything from varmints to the largest of Moose, Bison and all Bears. For the biggest and most dangerous of game, the Weatherby 460 Mag with the Barnes TSX FB 450 grain (low BC) and a moderate barrel, of 28" or so, will have a serious impact on the really big boys at up to around 300 yards, but better less than 500 yards. What is the difference in Rifle Weight when you consider that you might be packing less than 100# to over 1,000# of meat out several miles over rough terrain, such as Alaskan Mountains or difficult to walk on Tundra. In that case, the Rifle Weight is not really all that significant.

I hate muzzle brakes even more than I hate shooting heavy recoiling guns from a bench.

I’ve owned all three of these calibers the only one I still own is the 338 Lapua magnum. Nothing comes close to it.

Ive owned a .338 wm and I currently own a .300 wm I had the .338 wm in a Ruger M77 stainless, I loved the rifle and how it was built it just had a bad barrel on it, it was a gift for guiding a guy to his forst archery bull so I just sold the rifle, I used to buy cheaper rifles like $500-700 and I just didn't like the feel of them, even the Winchester 110 ultra light its got a proof research barrel great barrel but the rest of the gun just feels cheaper and for a $1200 rifle I just wanted more so I stepped up and went Christensen MPR and boy I love the rifle!!! Its shooting key holes at 300 yards and often and at 100 yards Im in shock at how well this rifle shoots!!! I plan on building a Christensen Ridgeline in 6.8 Western it's hitting 17% harder then the 6.5 PRC at 500 yards and 34% harder then the 6.5 Creedmore! Winchester made the best round with the most foot pounds at 500 yards and up without hitting a magnum rifle, it really is a short action almost magnum and that's just what I was looking for in a deer gun, was also going to throw a can on the rifle I was shocked at how much they quiet the gun down and how these cans make the rifle group better! I also love these new rangefiners that do the calculations for you when you insert your round information. I have a chronograph so that helps. I do eventually want to build a long range .338 ill probably go .338 Norma Magnum since the military is now using it so they should be making a lot more ammo and seeing how they shoot a heavier round to buck that wind is exactly what I want in a long range round, the .338 Norma Mag has some of the best ballistic coefficient hence why the military have picked the round as a sniper rifle AND IN A BELT FED MACHINE GUN!!!! WOW

You did a really good job going over these three calibers. Very in-depth and precise. Personally I would not hunt with a 338 Lapua, that amount of muzzle blast and recoil would much better be suited to a 416 Remington. I use the 338 WinMag with a 200 grain SST or 210 grain Partition on hogs. This is typically all done under 200 yards. But a buddy of mine in Alaska uses the 338 with 250 grain Partitions on brown bear. It’s his favorite load. But to tell the truth, my favorite all-around cartridge is the 300 H&H. It requires 3 to 4 grains less powder, for the same velocities as a 300 WinMag. It’s just a much more efficient cartridge, and nothing cycles more smoothly in a bolt action. Since you often talk about African hunting, you should do a spot on the venerable 300 H&H. By the way, even compared to the new 300 PRC, I just did a little test, and the 300 H&H was using 7.25% less powder of H4831SC to acquire the same velocity. Nothing new under the sun, and this includes a 300 WinMag. I also prefer the 308 Norma to 300 WinMag. Both of these were the modern replacement for the 300 H&H, but I don’t think either did any better.

It’s powder consumption is less efficient, and has a much shorter neck than the H&H. Please don’t think I’m stuck in the past, or nostalgic about an old caliber. The darn thing works very very well. The 300 WSM matches the performance, but it can be finicky in a cheap rifle.

@Jess Hadlock - The 300 WinMag is by no means a bad cartridge, but there is no advantage to it over the other 30 calibers. I’ve never reloaded for a 308 Norma, but I can definitely tell you the 300 H&H and 300 WSM have advantages in efficiency. The 300 H&H can handle much heavier projectiles and at faster velocities than the 300 WinMag as well. It’s my least favorite of the 30 calibers. Keep in mind, when Winchester and Norma were developing their respective cartridges, they were trying to match the 300 H&H performance in a standard long action, they weren’t even trying to better it, just match it. It’s less expensive for a manufacture to put a cartridge in a common long action, then using the magnum action required for the 300 H&H. And so it becomes marketing’s job to convince you that a less expensive product is better lol. The 300 Weatherby is indeed one hell of a thumper, it is incredibly flat shooting. Although, personally I stepped up to a 338 WinMag in exchange for the overbore and muzzle blast. I prefer the frontal diameter and being able to use a heavier projectile, but that’s more of a personal choice. No one is going to argue the effectiveness of the 300 Weatherby.

@ Frank B. A. - Re: "I also prefer the 308 Norma to 300 WinMag. Both of these were the modern replacement for the 300 H&H, but I don’t think either did any better." The selling point of 300 WM was originally that it would work in a standard long-action rifle, rather than requiring a magnum-length receiver. But having a magnum-sized receiver isn't all bad. The shoulder and case body on those traditional Holland and Holland magnums - 300 H&H and 375 H&H - is very gradually tapered, which leads to very reliable and smooth feeding, which is something you want when facing big or even dangerous game in the field. They are also accurate, easier on your shoulder than many hot-rodded modern magnums, and have all that tradition and pedigree behind them, years upon years of success hunting around the world. What's not to like?

I have the Omen 300 win mag and it's perfect with it's 14 round magazine. recoil is very good and ammo is easy to find. less recoil means better shots. better recovery and follow up shots are very fast. in fact you can shoot 3 shots at 1000 yards on steel and hit all 3 before the sound of the first hit. try that with the other two caliber's.

well i mean cant go wrong with 338 winny for elk. i love it

Could you test the 300WinMag with the Nosler 210 Accubonds Long Range at a velocity of 2815-2874 fps, BC is 0.730 according to Nosler's manual 8 ?

Great video! I’ve got the Savage FCP in 338 Lapua and would not want to lug that thing hunting even being on the lighter side for a 338 Lapua, it’s just a fun (but expensive) gun to shoot at distance. For big game I’d go 300 win mag, for smaller deer size I stick with 270 or 6.5CM.

I have both barrels on Desert Tech SRS-A1 both are reasonably recoil. 300 Win Mag can reach 1200 yards & 338 Lapua 1500 yards easily. I did take a Nilgai with 300 win mag at just over 100 yards.

338 and 300 both are very popular in Alaska for moose and bears

I have a .338 WM rifle that I liked pretty much, but I never shot an elk and so I didn't really need it. Also I think the bedding has gone bad, or possibly at my age I can no longer shoot it accurately, I don't know. I don't shoot it any more. But if I was younger I'd have a definite preference for the .338 WM. The Lapua cartridge is crazy; I would not bother with it.

Good, thorough comparison. I do find it mildly amusing how you switch to speaking Finnish every time you say Lapua 😅 People tend to get all wound up about pronunciation, but there are infinitely many proper names that are pronounced differently in English than they are in their original language. We don't say Moskva, Rossiya in English, we say Moscow, Russia. Mexico, Montana, Florida, Los Angeles, Johannesburg, Gouda cheese, and even Jesus himself have their names pronounced differently in English and it's totally correct. I'll keep pronouncing it "La POO uh" because I speak English, and that's how 95% of people pronounce it in the USA. I think the 338 Win Mag is the best for elk within 500 yards. 300 Win is not far behind and better for deer at ranges beyond 500. I shoot a 338-378 for long range elk hunting, which is similar to the Lapua.

My 300 Win Mag has served well as my main hunting rifle in north central British Columbia, particularly for moose, black bears and up in the mountains for sheep and goats When I wanted more oomph for grizzly bears, I chose the 375 H&H, as I was offered the opportunity to purchase a Remington Model 700 BDL Safari Grade in 375 H&H If I ever make it to Africa for Cape Buffalo and Plains Game, these two rifles are going with me

But I’m still grabbing the 30.06 Springfield over my .300 Win, and .338 Lapua. It just gets the job done, it’s versatility is awesome while being much cheaper to shoot. The .300 Win Mag is a beast and seems to do 75% of what a .338 Lapua can do. The 6.5 Creedmoor is impressive and practical now. And I’m not even a boomer. 🇺🇸

I hunt in Alaska for moose and bear and use the Savage 111 LRH with 300gr but use an ATV to get to my hunting spots so weight is not an issue. I always have my 45-70 with for close encounters tho. I have taken a moose with a 338 win mag and can tell you it kicks far harder then my Lapua 111, the 111 with muzzle brake is a pussy cat.

My other rifle is a 257 Roberts useing hornaday lite-mags ammo

Would love to own a .338 lapua rifle but just like the .50 rifles only usually for shooting long range and therefore unrealistic to own unless near a super long range gun range or in the mountains. So I would settle for the .300/.308winmag or the 6.5 Creedmoor depending on what your hunting. Plus still have capability to shoot 1000yrds

Similar ballistics of the 338 Lapua can be had by buying, 340 Weatherby, 338 RUM, 338-378 Weatherby, 33 Nosler, 330 Dakota, 338 A Square, 338 Excaliber and 338 Canadian magnum.

Now toned down to 2900-3000fps they are very accurate and very lethal to all north american game at beyond 500m, though I dont think it's ethical to hunt at ranges within it's upper capabilities

I got the Sako 85 long range 338 LM. The 300wm or 338 win mag would have been smarter.

Why bo comparison with the 340 weatherby it could not out run the 340 when it was introduced

Is there a 338 WSM or PRC?

No. The closest thing is the 325 WSM right now.

I asked my old girlfriend from high school Helga Svensson and she said it's pronounced LA PWAH'! [Laffin' 😄]

Haha, thanks!

I was thinking about taking my 30 odd 6 and rebaling it to a 338 bullet with an improve chambering. But then if I'm going for hunting bullet I probably be better off going with the 35 wheelen improved

I chose my 300 weatherby over the 300 win mag it more powerful by 200 feet than the 300 win mag

There are many advantages with the 300 Win Mag. and very little difference in performance. I've got a model 70 .300 Win Mag. It will bring down anything the Weatherby will.

What about the 338 Lapua vs the 6.5 Creedmoor?

Great point Adam! Why is the.300 Mag compared to the .338Mag?

6.5 cm isn’t even in the same ballgame as these three. That’s like taking a sling shot squirrel hunting with your buddy that has a 22.

.338 Lapua is a "one shot, one kill" cartridge. That's because you don't want to have to shot it more than once.

Should of took out the 300win mag and put the 338rem ultra mag against them other two

I stop using my 338 lapua and got 338 RUM. Because 338 RUM rifle is lighter to shoot.

Blaser R8 in 338 LM 4.2 Kg

browning bar discontinued the .338 win mag, but still makes the .300. is 30-06 less powerful than the .300 with virtually all cartridges ? i wouldve thought that hotter loads in a 30-06 would warrant it being included in this conversation, with potentially less recoil and cheaper ammo than the .300?

Cost and recoil keeps me away from any of them. The would not be fun to shoot on a recreational basis .

.300 win mag is best for me

Your worried about the weight of a 338 win mag ? Ha, I pack my 45-70 with octogon barrel is heavy to carry. For bears 45-70 elk moose then 300 win mag

.375 H&H or 30-378 Weatherby is to me the ultimate round. The 300 win mag i used for Pigs. I tend to get within 200 meters of my targets and is easily found and reloaded so to me its for me its the best practical.

The Answer = .340 Weatherby! 225@3100 250@2950

300WSM

The 300 win mag has more ammo. The. Other two...and gets the job done...end of story

338 lapua just in case you run into t-rex
