[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 959844, member: 63138"] I kind of answered this question on another thread called the Perfect Deer Rifle - 338 RUM. Basically what I said is that I would take my full custom 338 RUM with muzzle brake. It shoots 0.3 MOA and kicks less than my 06 so what is not to like? With this chambering you are not under gunned on the really big stuff (brown bear for example) and it won't damage meat on a small animal like deer - IF you use Barnes or similar bullets. Since Barnes bullets out of a 338 RUM with pass through just about any animal, a bigger animal gets hit harder than a smaller animal. I have tested this on both elk and deer with zero meat damage. If an animal is big enough to stop the bullet - then it is going to get the whole 5,000 ft lbs which if it is that big the added power is probably needed. [/QUOTE]
