[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 432868, member: 4191"] I agree the .338 hits inflict greater trauma than the .308 hits, and the .308 hits greater trauma than the .284 hits on large game - as a rule of thumb. This results in the shooter witnessing greater on-game authority and effectiveness. The 338 hits on brown bear carry much more immediate affect than similar hits would with the 7mm. The 460 Weatherby's would kill better than the 338s - I'd bet any money on it - out to 400 yds, with equivalent hits and equivalent bullets. The larger the diameter of the slugs, given reasonably equivalent sectional densities, the greater the physiological devastation to a large game animal's life support system. Doesn't mean the 7mms don't kill, ethically and effectively. And for smaller sized game like deer, sometimes the 7mms will produce the instant lights-out kills with simply a solid body hit, just like a larger caliber cartridge might. And death doesn't come any deader than that, if you've ever witnessed it. [/QUOTE]
