[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 297593, member: 2736"] +1 Distance is the key factor for any game. The bigger the game the closer you need to be with any caliber. Even the 338s have there limits and one must know them. Recovery after the shot is the most important part of a successful hunt and the longer the distance is the recovery is more difficult if the wrong caliber is chosen. I like having the choice on making a long shot or not so I always take a rifle that will work at the maximum range possible for the terrain I'm in. and if I get a closer shot GREAT but if a long shot presents it self I'm ready as long as the recovery is possible. Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
