[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1489530, member: 104437"] The .338 Win Mag When I started realizing that, many, MANY Deer, Elk and Moose are killed with, sharp sticks ( AKA Arrows) thru, the Lungs/ heart, I SOLD my .338 WM and bought a 7 Mag and later a Tikka .270 WSM (wanted a lighter weight, low recoiling, rifle) My "FLINCH" is almost gone, now ! IMO,..SELL the .338 and you will probably, practice MORE and shoot, BETTER ! A 1/2 inch, "mushroomed", bullet thru, the heart - lung area,.. gets it done ! "Cannons" are not necessary, in the lower 48, for deer, elk, moose ! Just my .02 cents ! When I was in my late 20's - 30's I thought, I couldn't live without, a .338 WM,.. by 50, I knew better ! Without, a break on it you WILL probably develop a "flinch" that,.. MAY never go away ! I hunt/shoot over a Pack or with, Sticks in "varied terrain" where a bipod may NOT work, anyway. Let the "Snowballs",..FLY ! [/QUOTE]
