Have killed a few head with the 300.
Never hunted my 338, bought it because it was a deal on a Pre Garcia Sako.
After a time, I realized that with most loads, the 300 had enough
punch up close, and carried more at longer range.
Not that it was better for some uses, but enough.
Laughing at this thread.
We get these posts of guys using small for the application chamberings.
If one mentions better results with 30 calibers, he gets blasted.
How much do you need?
How hard are deer to kill?
It's placement!
The exact same guys are here singing praise on the magnums.
A few days ago, much smaller cases were more than enough for elk.
Confused, I am!
