[QUOTE="Down Under Hunter, post: 340471, member: 8486"] I am currently using a 338 edge to great affect. The rifle has been extremely good to me. I am looking to improve the bullet performance over what I currently shoot. At beyond 1000 yards and the 300 smk does not hit bone and is a central lung type shot they have needled and given me an extremely hard exersize to follow up. I am aware that more HP from the 338 AM would improve bullet performance with the pill opening more. I may also want a larger wound channel and think a 375 AM might do it better. Unlike alot of videos you have seen with the game being shot at range in wide open spaces, my window to observe the animal after the strike is about 2 steps. In a nutshell the country I hunt is so thick that I need them on the ground asap or I have trouble recovering them. Even with a really well placed shot.. so the more hurt I can put on them quickly the better. I really dont know if the 338 AM would get it done that much better with the same bullet ? I would only go to a new gun if I was sure the benefits justify the expense I guess. Anybody got any good pics of damage on game at range with a 375 CT or AM ?? Love to see them ! Thanks for your tips boys. DUH [/QUOTE]
