This is why I picked 338 Lapua Magnum as "the" long-reach caliber to go to. DTA provided a perfect platform that supported multiple calibers including 338LM.
Choosing the "main" stick for me was easy: SRS with both 308 for daily practice and 338LM as the best long-reach compromise.
In this thread I was trying to figure whether 300WM would <span style="text-decoration: underline">add</span> anything useful to my existing setup - I already have 338 and am <span style="text-decoration: underline">not</span> going to get rid of it or replace it with something else (same for 308).
It appears that 300WM would be cheaper to practice with than 338LM - but unless I can shoot at 1000+ yards there would be no training benefit over the good old 308, except for getting used to magnum recoil. But it would be a fun addition (though not very practical given the circumstances) - so I'll start saving money for a 300WM kit.
Thank you to everybody who contributed and shared his experience with these calibers!
