[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1341143, member: 27307"] I'll go you one better and include the .338 Norma Mag as well. Working with the uppermost accuracy node for each, there is only nickels and dimes difference between the remaining energy and remaining velocity, including out to 1,000 yards, based on my velocities. Even drop and drift are reasonably similar, so unless you're trying to pick nits, I will take any one one of three. I use the Berger 215 gr. for the .300 Norma Mag and either the Berger 250 gr. or 300 gr. for the .338's, all three with 27" barrels. Flip a coin but go out and have a great time in the field! I'm fairly sure this comment was meant to be disarmingly concise. And just exactly how do you delineate the term 'kill better'? I'm not trying to be argumentative. :) I'm a meat hunter, I don't often hunt horns... It seems to me that hitting the heart, neck or head (cow elk or does only...) will result in an instantaneous kill no matter which caliber of bullet is used. These are the shots I use because of the results. I've done it a dozen and more times. I'm also sure that you could create a set of circumstances where your statement might hold true but the reality is that it won't. Regards. [/QUOTE]
