I started out as a teenager using smaller calibers that were just enough to cleanly kill at the range I felt comfortable with. Over time I�ve moved up to higher and higher power calibers. I don�t think there�s much dispute that calibers like the .338 Lapua Mag increase the range at which you can take game, but I�ve also noticed an increased killing power when I screw up a bit and don�t make a perfect shot. When I gut the game it�s obvious the .338 does a lot more damage.

Maybe you�re right and it really doesn�t make any difference, but I know what I�ve seen and experienced and that leads me to another conclusion. Hope you can accept that.
