I’ve since gravitated to the 338 win mag after a bad experience with a 162 gr bullet from a 7mm rem mag not tracking straight after hitting the near should on a quartered toward me elk. I have no idea if the 338 is better at tracking straighter but my logic tells me it will be better at less than ideal angles. I think physics is on my side here ?
Regardless, I haven’t had it fail me in 15 yrs of taking animals with that cartridge. It shoots fairly flat and recoil is easily mastered with some practice. It’s my go to for everything bigger than a whitetail.
