[QUOTE="longrangebob, post: 1534935, member: 3744"] While I love my Lite 6.5-284 w/120 gr. Barnes TSX - & have shot Elk & Moose with it Effectively - (none Escaped) - my 340 Wby.Mag is my "Go To" Elk rifle - particularly @ longer distances -- other .338's make sense too -- and good quality projectiles well Placed are a necessity !!! A Big Deer (lol) and a small mistake (like hitting a heavy bone) with a little bullet can end up with a wounded critter & long track!! 215 grains of copper going 3290 fps. vs. 120-140 makes all the difference. Or 550 paper patched out of a .45 BPC !!! Energy available @ point of contact matters a lot unless projectile goes thru the intercostal muscles -- LRB [/QUOTE]
