[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1251824, member: 4566"] I shoot a 338 300SMK at EVERYTHING. Until I get a 375 built anyway. People say its too much. Too much WHAT? IDK about bloodshot meat. If you don't recover it bloodshot meat doesn't matter anyway. I'm not a Sirocco fan, I have killed a bunch with them but they do some inconsistent things. I have found that shooting a frangible, as long for caliber as possible, as fast as possible, answers all of these questions. All of these SUPERBULLETS were conceived back in a day when you had to drive something FAST because rangefinders were not commonly available. Therefore 150gr 308 cal was commonplace and NEEDED additional help since a short bullet is really not suited for game. We have now come full circle back to where Elmer Keith was. Shoot a long for caliber heavy slug and let SECTIONAL DENSITY do its job with the bullet shedding about half of its weight and the shank taking care of the rest. Physics always trumps man made design elements. [/QUOTE]
