The odd thing with 33's is folks want a larger bore but hobble it with lighter bullets (long range shooters in the know excluded).
For hunting I have used the 33,35,36, and 37 calibers mainly on moose, all have been effective.
I have settled on the 36/9.3mm with 286gr bullets. With a sight in 3" high at 100yards it is in the kill zone to ~250 yards. With my Leica range finder and CDS or M1 turret I can come up to at least 600 yards but mainly it is used for shots that may occur between 250 and 400 or so yards in all practicability. The power is there, ability to get on target is there, and recoil is much less than anything that burns 70grs of powder or more.
BTW, a 300 win mag set up properly is no slouch at extended ranges either.
