This thread took a turn for the worse. Been gone for a few days and the ugliness came out.
I have a different view on where diameter starts to make a visible difference. For me it starts with 338 caliber when bullet construction and shot placement are similar.
If Mule Deer and 458 think that 358 diameter is where it starts, no big deal. I know what I have experienced. It is my opinion and YMMV.
If I can not get my elk tag filled with my longbow this fall, I will not hesitate to grab one of the 338-06's shooting 200-210gr bullets. I have zero doubt that it will do the job, and put meat in the freezer.
Looking at numbers though, If the 0.02" difference between a 338 and 358 makes a difference. How can 0.03" difference between a 308 and 338 not make a difference?
