[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 687735, member: 4809"] Going back to the original post we read the following: [COLOR=red]"Will definetly have a muzzle break and be around 9 lb. rifle before scope. I want to enjoy shooting it without taking a beating. I have a .30-06 and 7mm mag so I want something larger pretty much for elk, long range shots, sub 1/2 moa, and just fun. What caliber is a good balance of recoil and velocity within the caliber range above?"[/COLOR] Let's see: A 9 lb. rifle, doesn't want heavy recoil or take a beating, will handle elk at long range, and good balance of recoil. Yep, sounds like a big 338 to me. The original post or question was never about which caliber can deliver max energy downrange. Just enough energy to kill elk at LR. My point was that a 300 RUM could do just that with less recoil/energy than the 338's. Hence the "except" comment to point out the unnecessary energy/recoil. ......so to difuse the situation and placate Bravo4 I will conceed the point. I was asserting that the color was beige when in fact it was tan. I must have thought they were the same thing...........only different. :-) [/QUOTE]
