What's the status on 338's nowadays? It's been a few years since I've checked. Are people seeing enough ammo selection for the RUM and Lapua? Has the RUM taken off in popularity at all? I'm thinking of adding to my arsenal and will likely end up with the good ol' 338 WM and call it good ...Any reason I might want to consider the higher-power cousins listed above? My usage: general hunting in Alaska ...everything but grizzlies/browns, but the rifle could be used in self protection against once of these. Intended game would be moose, caribou, deer, and black bear. All of these die just fine with a .30-06, but going to a .338 or better gives me better bear protection... Not sure I want to go bigger than that, so a .338 is the choice unless someone can convince me otherwise
