[QUOTE="Broz, post: 825272, member: 7503"] Mudrunner, may I ask some personal questions? I have read your choices in smaller calibers and understand what you like to portray. But to me it sounds more like justifying what you already have in calibers. How far have you ever shot your long range rifles? What is your longest big game kill? Have you ever seen the difference of an impact at 1500 yards from a 7mm, or a 300 compared to a good 338? Trust me when I tell you I have a 338 for a reason, the differences out there are not small. I am not saying the smaller caliber will not kill at these distances, but I have dialed in with the same conditions, shooting a good 7mm side by side with a good 338 and both using upper end BC's available for these calibers. The wind drift alone is large. So why is it so hard to understand? And doubt why people use 338's when going long? The differences are real and the statements are in most cases coming from people that have seen these differences many times. Not from shooters that simply want the biggest. If that was so, there would be more shooting 50's. I am not trying to be rude, I wish we lived closer together. I would be glad to show you a comparison at 1500 from my front yard.
