[QUOTE="RHC, post: 1001116, member: 79604"] I've always went by one thing Mr. Boddington has said over and over again. Shoot the biggest gun that you are most comfortable and reasonably accurate with. For instance, while I could shoot an elk with a .338 RUM,l I am most accurate and comfortable with my .300 SAUM shooting 200 gr. partitions. I've never believed in the the "1500 ft pound of energy" a lot of people tote. I've seen a lot of .22-250s and .243s shooting 80 gr. bullets drop elk at distances out to 500, 600 yards. Do I recommend it? No. But it will always boil down to shot placement and bullet construction for the intended distances in my opinion. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
