[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 1415562, member: 73428"] I went through this myself. After a summer of getting proficient with 300gr smk’s (600+ shots) I had simply had enough. Even by the end getting very good groups downrange-with less then perfect form I could never spot my hits (12 lb. rifle to boot) I tipped one elk and deer over with it and sold it shortly after the season ended. I chuckle when I read of guys saying their 338’s kick like a 308.....Ya right! Mine kicked like a mule even with a good brake runnin 300 gr. Bullets @ 2900 FPS. For all practical purposes I don’t see any more of a need then a 200-220 grain 30 caliber pushing 2800-3000 FPS. [/QUOTE]
