Mike;
It's good to hear from you sir, I hope all is well with you as of late.
Yes, chipping a tooth would put me off a cartridge, I can certainly see that!
A now gone shooting mentor had an 8mm Rem Mag in one of the limited run 700's they did every year and the thing was a shooter for sure, but to my knowledge he never shot any game with it.
I know other folks have seen marked or more difference in the .338 than we did - but I still recall the first mulie buck I hit with it and my late father's response when it showed little sign of being hit - kept walking calmly in fact.
All he said Mike was, "What happened there?" but as he'd been asking my about the "artillery round" I was carrying earlier in the day - as compared to the Swede he was using then or his previous .308 that had killed multiple moose - well I could tell he wasn't that impressed for sure.
Good luck on your remaining hunts this fall Mike and all the best to you.
Dwayne
