and one could ask the question, with a load like this that would do in just about everything in north america, what need is there for all the other calibers?
That's exactly what I'm saying. Also another reason I used my ol 06 and not the 338 win mag this year for elk.... The 200gr. partition is just a sledge hammer. When guys like 458Win (Phil Shoemaker) tell us that's their favorite bullet for the 06 on big brown bears, it kind of makes you listen to what they are saying...
