I truly believe this is the most underrated caliber and it doesn't get enough credit.
My only shot on game was a quartering away 230 yard shot on a mountain goat using the Tikka and 185ttsx. The bullet did not strike a rib entering, split the heart in two and exited striking and breaking the left front leg. The goat hunched and fell over, DRT.
concerning the earlier post, recoil is very minimal which allowed me to watch the impact on the goat. I dont' think I could've done this with my 300WM or 30-06.
It is a heck of a caliber... that is for for sure.
Built AR-10s in .338F and .358W. Still doing load testing on the .338F, but the .358W is a solid performer... and a sleeper also.
Glad I found this load data page. Thanks to all.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
