What if we compared a Hornady .338 225 gr. SST with a BC of .430 Compare that to the Hornady 7mm 154 gr. spitzer with a BC of .433 Now what if we compared the .338 Federal to a 7mm-08. It seems fair to compare the two cartridges of equal powder capacity and by using bullets of equal BC. Now the .338 has the advantage of a bigger cross sectional area and more weight. This would make me choose the .338 if I were hunting bear or moose or elk. I think we can expect the heavier bullet to break big bones and disrupt more tissue. whelennut
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
