Are the .338s becoming pointless?

[QUOTE="StumpGrinder, post: 1974451, member: 114832"] I have 3 rifles that cover everything I hunt or will hunt in North America. The 243 Winchester, 308 Winchester and 338 Winchester Magnum. These 3 cover bullet weights from 55 grain to 300 grain, that's quite a spread and in their respective classes each one does well. There are better and worse in each caliber but these 3 are easy to find ammo for, at reasonable prices and easy to reload. What else can you ask from a rifle? I have no desire to hunt Africa so the 338 Wm is plenty for me and if I do want to go heavier I have the 458 SOCOM to play with. While only a 150 to 200 yard gun it can throw up to 600 grain bullets on an AR 15 platform. Maybe not necessary but it sure has the cool factor going for it! [/QUOTE]
