D-mack,
I like Bearclaw have a .338 win Mag. I used to have a .270. I to shot some nice elk with it.
I have heard nothing but good about the WSM in that caliber. I think that you would be happy with it. Next question? Do you hand load or factory?
If you hand load, Be patient and be willing to work with some diffrent grain of bullet and diffrent powders and such. Slower burning vs faster burning. 130 grain bullet vs 140 grain could make a significant diffrence in your patterning.
When you break in this new toy, Shoot a round then clean, Shoot a round clean for 10 rounds. Help get those burrs out of the barrel from the factory that the machineing leaves. We do this with all of our sniper rifles for added accuracy.
If you use store bought factory, There is some good stuff and some Junk. Pm me for more info on that one. I am not going to openly bash one company over another in the open forum.
Hope this helps.
