Hear, Hear Mr. Rin:

[/quote=Rinb]You know a 338 shooting 200/210 bullets isn’t quite as good as a big 30 shooting 200’s at the same velocity of 3000. The big 7 guys will say a 175 at 2950 is just as good as the 30. 280 guys will say shooting a 150 @ 3000 with R26 is pretty much the same as a 7RM. Now the CM lovers will say a 140 at 2800 is just as good as the 280. I think this reasoning is referred to as INCREMENTALISM. [quote]

Thanks for the title, I haven't heard that one.
However I've been listening to that argument per 300 Mags->30-06->308->300Sav ! !
AND 7 mags ->-> 270 ->-> 6.5 creed. huh. smirk "just as good as".

AIN'T SO. I have been told and read here on the 'fire' that you can SEE the diff when the 300 Mags hit an Elk compared to lesser cartridges. NOW the lesser cartridges WILL kill the animals reliably BUT the MORE powerful cartridges produce visual reaction.

I HAVE SEEN that with a 35 Whelen when shooting WT. It's like getting the wind KNOCKED out of you or being hit with a brick vs a ball.

Thanks

Jerry
