458 answered this somewhere in the first three pages of responses, he said yes very good. Bob Hagel had a story about an incident where he thought the 300 magnum with 200 grain Bitter Roots was better. He was comparing the 200 BBC to a 175 Nosler I believe, so if they both had the same make bullets I think they would be closer. Bitter Roots open up much more than partitions while still penetrating almost as well. He was making a case that the 300 was a better Alaskan cartridge than the 7mm but then his favorite was the 340 Weatherby so a single incident to re-enforce his personal bias. But then he had hundreds more experiences to do so as well.

This sounds like what a Zeiss rep said to a gun writer who said the earlier Zeiss scopes wouldn't pass the hot water leak test. " Vie vood anyone vant to do that?"
