[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1877321, member: 113501"] Caliber efficiency is interesting to me. Some times if you neck up a cartridge the result will shoot heavier bullets at nearly the same velocity as the parent and burn a similar amount of powder. This is why I built up a 338 Federal. I know it won't have the power of a 335 Winchester Magnum but it's an AR so the ability to fire follow up shots rapidly and in high volume is its strength. To me this sounds like the question of Glock 10mm vs .44 Magnum revolver. Is 20 rounds of 338 Federal fired rapidly (but accurate) better than 5 rounds of 338 Winchester Magnum fired slowly (still accurate)? I am fairly certain I will never test even one of those options on a bear but could a 200 grain 338 going 2,600-2,700 fps be effective on Brown Bear? If so, to what range? [/QUOTE]
