I'd like to hear the circumstances involving a real elk kill with a 338, that I couldn't have killed with a 708... and to be upfront on real world experience... my 338 killed four elk the first year I had it late 90s, as it was the new 'flavor' in my arsenal. It's killed some since and my nephew killed one last year with it because that's the gun he used when he was 12 on his first.

There is no issue with shooting an elk with a 708 or shooting a coues with a 338... I've been involved/witnessed both.

Dead is dead...
