[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 327825, member: 12863"] John I subscribe to both schools of thought. I know what a 300-400 grain bullets does from a 45-70, to anything it hits. I have killed an aweful lot of game out to 600 yards with a standard 243 and 85-100 grain bullets. So for 20 some years I have conbined both speed and surface diameter with the various 338's. Initually I wanted to duplicate the 06 rifle preformance from a handgun. Hence my 338 Gibbs look-a-like has a standard 180gr Accubond at 2800fps from a 17" handgun barrel. Then the 338WSM at an additional 100fps. Monday or Tuesday of next week my 19" barrel 338 Edge will be here and I am hoping for 2900fps with a 200grain bullet and I would be ecstatic with anything above that. SO flat shooting hydrostic shock plus surface or contact diamter with bullet weight makes me feel good all over. Neal [/QUOTE]
