I have an 338 Marlin. Bought new Jan. 09..... 2008 serial..... anyways, Made an elk trip last season (2011) was not sure if was going to be able to tuff it out (motorcycle wreak)..... Had two guys wound their elk with those large mags....... I had to track both down with my " too damn small of a gun to shoot elk.... You need a buy a real gun"...... tracked first one about 3/4 mile before got finishing shot....... Second, tracked it over 1.1/2 miles before got shot at it......... What got me though was the wound channel of the 338 compared against the 300 whiz bang mags.......... Like the 338 so far................
ME Shooters
How many of you guys are shooting Marlin Express rifles? I have a 308ME. I don't have a lot of rounds down range yet, but I am impressed so far. The factory Hornady ammo has been very accurate in my rifle. All the reloads I have tried have been pretty good as well.
I have an invite to go mule deer hunting in western NE this year so I have been working on some 150gr reloads. I haven't come up with anything better than the 160gr factory ammo so I may just use the Hornady stuff.
Anybody have ME experiences they would like to share?
