Your motto succinctly states my thoughts. “Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and power is no substitute for bullet performance” quoting 458WIN

I have decided to abandon the acquisition of another 338 bore cartridge. I have had many between 338-06 thru 340 Wby. I have never observed on game performance that is better than my 270. Obviously the 338’s work but they either are harder kicking or have rounder trajectories.

I have a 375 H&H for buffalo and don’t plan on hunting anything else that requires that category of cartridge. If I didn’t have that rifle I would strongly consider a 9.3-62. Both are really great.
