If my choice was a 8 mag and a 200 grain bullet vs. a .338 Win mag and a 250 grain bullet for long range I would choose the 8 mag. Now if it was an 8 mag vs. a .340 Wby or a .338 RUM,I would pick the .340 or RUM.
Ken - (smile) I'm NOT trying to start or engage in a bullet--BC debate. You know how bullet weights and BCs can be 'juggled' for the
hunter's purpose to prove/disprove their points.
The 200 in .323 doesn't compare to the 250 in .338 bore. I understand your perspective and would agree.
OTOH there are better bullet/BC comparisons.
Seriously, I'm not involved in long range hunting with EITHER cal/cartridge. So I don't want to get involved in any debate.
Thnx for your input.
