[QUOTE="jasonprox700, post: 2659513, member: 7328"] Stick with a controlled expansion bullet and you'll be fine. Bonded, mono, something premium. I wouldn't even worry about dropping down in bullet weight either. I can honestly say that my 338 WM shooting Accubonds does less damage than my 308 shooting SST's (on deer). Controlled expansion is the key. The whole "overkill" bs came from years ago with guys shooting magnums with light cup and core bullets. Pushed to high velocities, they're grenades. I also hear a lot of the older generation say the magnums shoot the bullet "too" fast and the bullet just zips on thru without getting a chance to open, which is the exact opposite of what actually happens. Pick the right bullet for a certain impact velocity window and match that with the intended species means more than a cartridge name or label. Just my opinion [/QUOTE]
