A 260 or 6.5 creed will yield the same end result... a dead elk. Jumping thirty thousanths in bore diameter from .308 to .338, and backwards in SD, to shoot a weight already commonly available in the original diameter, at a similar velocity, is borderline retarded, at best.

Viable bullets in 338s start at 225, and go UP from there.


Yea, a 185 TTSX at over 3000 FPS just wouldn’t work at all. Rolling eyes at stupid comments.
