[QUOTE="ricka0, post: 68112, member: 3086"] [ QUOTE ] I can not shoot the .338 WINmag without a flinch. [/ QUOTE ] I thought that's what muzzle breaks were for. My BAR 338 Win Mag with BOSS break kicks less than my .243 We all agree shot placement is the most important - if I wasn't using a break a 300 would have far more killing power as I would flinch less. A 300 WinMag will do fine on elk - get what you want. My brother used to shoot elk with his .243 until he got a 30-06 Any experiences would be personal anecdotes. The excellent ballistics software [url="http://www.biggameinfo.com/"]Klinkers [/url] shows the Taylor index (killing power). IMAO it understates hi vel cartridges - but that's just my opinion. Like klinkers said: it will show you a .243 is not suitable for Griz [url="http://www.loadammo.com/Topics/July02.htm"]The Taylor Index - A Measure of Stopping Power[/url] [/QUOTE]
