I see remington is now involved in the LR craze and offers a few rifles in the 338 Lapua? They are also making ammo as well draw back to this caliber is 130.00+ per box 6.00 each time you shoot. I'm thinking not loosing much with a 300 win mag or 300 RUM and far cheaper ammo than the 338 lapua. anyone need to take 1,000 yrd coyotes  |

Seems to me, the 338LM is a long range tactical number. 1000 yards is not long range tactical, in my opinion. But, it's a fad for most buyers. I see a fair number for sale with 40 rounds down the tube. I agree that a 300WM is capable of 1000 yard coyotes, if done right. Is mine? Doubtful. And, I will never know, either. Shooting at any animal, 400 yards is realistic, 500 is just about my absolute limit. Just do the math. I have a 20 degree picatinny rail on both my 22-243 and my 243 Ackley, both have U.S. Optics scopes with a lot of elevation clicks available. I have a hard time getting a coyote to hold still long enough to dial in the clicks needed after ranging him with another device. Sure. I respect a coyote more than to be banging away at 1000 yards, or a character flaw, whichever?
