[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 956925, member: 65338"] Totally agree. Mudrunner just doesn't know because he has no experience with 33 cal rounds. The last 2 deer I shot were with my 338-375 Ruger using 250gr Berger Elite Hunter bullets. Both in a 20+mph crosswind at 380 yards and 265 yards. Trust me, there's a difference in how that bullet flies in the wind. And when it hits after leaving the barrel at 2925 fps?.... Well that's just pure magic that is only understood by those who have witnessed it first hand :) I have never been a fan of the 30-06 or 308 win for hunting, but I'll never deny their potency and place in the field because I have watched a few of my buddies take a lot of game with those rounds. Anyone who has experience with big 33s knows for a fact that they have their place in the field and fill a broad niche between 30 cal and 375 cal for hunting. (I left out 35 cal cuz it's nearly obsolete) If a 338 caliber round was not "needed" for North American game, then why does Alaska state law require a minimum of a 338 Winchester to hunt Brown bears?... I rest my case... [/QUOTE]
