No practical difference with good bullet placement. My .260 killed my one elk DRT at 150 yards. And a caribou @ 200 yards a month earlier, and a wolf at 40 yards 2 weeks later. I've been carrying it with confidence for moose hunting the last 2 years, but the moose have no confidence.... they've only given me a shot with the '06... smile



The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
