Jordan Smith;
You are always most welcome sir. It's always a pleasure to "talk" with you and I enjoy your posts very much.
Regarding your question, I'd think it sure might be possible that the disparity could show up in larger bodied animals, we'll say 400lb carcass and up. Again though that is a guess and that only on my part.
I shot a few deer/black bear with a .338 way back in the day and decided it didn't show enough difference from the '06/180gr combination I'd been using to warrant continuing the beatings it gave me.
My gut feeling then and still now, is that if I lived in the Kootenays, Ft. St. John or Whitehorse where bigger carcasses are on the menu annually, I might have kept that barrel on the Ruger instead of converting it to a .308Norma.
Then again, the locals up there seem to kill a lot with .270's and the like, don't they?
I'm glad you've sighted the arch cloud Jordan. There's only so much cold a person can stand before they think they're in Saskatchewan!
Regards,
Dwayne
