I'd like to start building a new rifle and really am not ready to get up to .338. I regularly shoot to about 1300 yards now with my .308 and am contemplating setting up a mile target. All things considered, which of these two calibers would you choose for this task?
Recoil isn't really too much of an issue for me since I will put a brake on either one. Ammo cost and availability isn't really too much of a consideration as I have never bought factory ammo. I know the 300 will use a little more powder but I don't feel it's enough to be a problem. Just can't figure out which direction to go.
