I had a 200gr ballistic silvertip shed it's core out of my 338-06 on a mature mule deer buck this past season. Tremendous damage, tough is not what comes to mind. Example of one.
I had tried it specifically because MD stated it was tough. Going to try some 185gr mono's this weekend. I think a 200gr AB would be better.
I have always thought a 338-06 is pretty close to like a 300 magnum.
