[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 2542135, member: 53978"] Consider the animal and the bullet you want when things go wrong. For example, in the US for elk, I'd like a sleek all-copper bullet around 225grain: .338". And I consider 350-500 yards long range. 0.5 BC is fine. Is there an advantage to the 33 cal for anchoring an animal? Probably, but I wouldn't know how to prove this in a practical way. In Africa I've used 338 a lot and prefer it to 30 cal, but I really like having a fast loaded 416Rigby, the rifle in the icon picture. To be honest, the biggest issue is having the opportunity to hunt. Then an accurate rifle with a good bullet can be used for a great and successful hunt. When in doubt, get closer or wait for a clear shot. [/QUOTE]
