I don't think anyone is disputing that the .338Mag is a great cartridge. It is. What I want to know is what qualifies the .338-06 as one of the dumbest "calibers" ever. Then Mr. Carmicheal goes on to say how great the .280 AI is for elk. I'm not bashing the .280AI, but why is such a great elk killer and the .338-06 is so dumb for elk. It just doesn't add up.
Also, is there really that much difference in effectiveness between a 225 grain at 2700fps (.338-06) and a 250 grainer at 2700fps (.338Mag) on elk? Large bears and moose maybe, but elk? Come on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
