.........though, of course, that doesn't mean the rifles or bullets are actually the problem. grin


I would bet that the 30-06 has probably killed more than either the 338 or 375 as it was the most popular guide's rifle well into the 1960's and is still a valid option.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
