Really the same is true of a .338.. I have shot sheep to 500 yards with my .300 shot in 3"high, it drops less than two feet at 500.. I rarely shoot that far but this was a do or die situation.. I have killed several elk at 400 with the same combo.. .338's are fine, but for my hunting they just don't cut it.. I have several 300's all excellent shooters.. My .338's have gone down the road, do have one .340.. I like it better than the .338.. But don't rely on it very much..
