there's a youtube vid about a guy taking a big bull elk, legally one presumes, with a 10mm auto. Bowhunters take them all the time. So why anyone bothers with more than a 308 autoloader, I have no clue. the rapidfire and cheap practice, from offhand, like reality in the hunting fields, means far more than any ballistic "advantage". Animals, unless bedded down, MOVE, folks. Often. The wind and mirage often mean that a humane shot just cannot be adequately likely, at ranges beyond which a 308 auto is quite capable (ie, 300m)
