I bet a 338 is a hammer on both sides
Yeah, it hammers the target quite nicely. No matter what the target is: Orange or nothing......
That gun doesn't mess around buddy..
. I think if a guy knows how to shoot a magnum properly, you might as well use it.. This one is a beautiful rifle because it weighs in at 7 pounds (bare rifle) and holds 4 plus 1. Only need 1 shot though, so that is a moot point...
Oh yeah, the guy above that is humping that deer in the pic above knows all about shooting magnums as well. I grew up like him and shot the chit out of truckloads of jackrabbits with everything from 22 pistols to 338wm and slugs in a 12 gauge.. A lot of guys here have never had that type of experience when it comes to shooting running game with a big centerfire rifle. There's no other expereince like it in the world, except for maybe in hungary where they are shooting running hogs with their 8mm's... Read some of JOC and he will also tell you the same thing...
