[QUOTE="camdog, post: 662537, member: 49119"] If I were to hunt grizzlies or polar bear then the .338 magnum would be appropriate but for Elk, deer and such the 30.06 is a great round. 90 grains to 220 grains is the range available to use for anything in north america. 99% of the time the extra power from the .338 is not needed. 185 grains is all I ever used when I shot a black bear 298 lbs. back ten years ago w/ the .338 in Vermont. Recoil is about 33 lbs. compared to 20 pounds .06. Weatherby Mark V .338 is no longer w/ us anymore. There is definately such a thing as being over gunned. I love the .240 weatherby mag. and I have made record shots w/ that puppy. Anyway's, nice to read all the post from guys like yourselves who trully love everything involving hunting and such. Tanks for allowing me to share. [/QUOTE]
