[QUOTE="338 bruce, post: 443912, member: 12214"] Any well placed bullet will kill the same as any other, but when hunting for elk, the 338 and 375 diameter bullets will get the animals attention better (even a slow 338 federal), meaning you can tell that its been hit. When hunting for a cow elk you wont usually find them alone. After hunting all day you finally find a herd and after you take your shot and the herd starts to run, if you shoot again you might end up with more than one elk down. With the 338 and larger bullets you can tell which elk you hit the first time. That is why I went up from useing my 3006. In the real world impact velocity isnt as important as bullet diameter. If you hunt for meat a very surprising thing happens, the bigger cal bullets dont bloodshot the meat very much if at all. [/QUOTE]
