[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1714825, member: 2736"] Actually the 338 will do very well on deer. The bullets are well designed and a deer doesn't offer enough resistance to explode a bullet. Even though most of it's energy will pass on through the deer, it will transfer enough energy to take him down. Also there is little meat loss with the bigger bullets. I have shot white Tails with everything from a 22/250 to a 458 Win Mag. even shot one with my 416 just to see what it would do. The deer swapped ends but hit the ground and again meat damage was minimal. In fact meat damage has been worse with the high velocity small caliber cartridges. Try it and if you don't like the results move on. I sometimes hunt deer and hogs and an occasional Coyote with a 338 RCM using 200 and 225 grain bullets and it is a hammer. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
