[QUOTE="WV Hitman, post: 2815996, member: 115208"] bsc, I took an elk at 200 yds.+ with my .338-06 JDJ Encore handgun and a 185 X. Also took an elk at 352 yds. with my .338 JDJ Contender( same as .338 Fed.) & a 200 gr. BT. The holdover on the long shot was a great deal. Both elk dropped, but still the .338s have more recoil than the 6.5/.284, and, to me, are not nearly as shooter friendly as my 6.5. The trajectory of the my .338s was not great. My newest .338 is a .338Mag JDJ Encore. I've done deer and groundhogs reliably with it out to 400 yards with 185Xs. It's trajectory is better and recoil is definitely more noticeable. [/QUOTE]
