Are the .338s becoming pointless?

[QUOTE="PBR driver, post: 1981322, member: 20780"] Look at the SD numbers more than BC. I do not care how flat they fly if when the bullet gets there it can not penetrate. The .338's have good SD's. I do not own a .338 but am thinking of building a .338-06 A Square, I do not need a magnum .338, there is nothing where I live that I can not kill cleanly with a .338 non magnum. If going to Alaska or Africa then maybe a .338 magnum of some type. To get back to the question It seems the smaller cartridges are easier to manage and kill very well but there will always be a place for the .338 Winchester Magnum and the .340 Weatherby. [/QUOTE]
