[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1863441, member: 60453"] You could have faced them with a 30-06, too. But you could really one-up them with a .338-06 or a 338 Win Mag. Both calibers are sledge hammers for effectiveness, with the 338-06 being a little better on recoil. The 33 Nosler is also a good long range round, and all three can be made to push a 250 grain bullet to 2550fps, with the Win Mag and the Nosler exceeding 2650fps with some loads. Trajectory is not as flat as the 300 win mag, but it doesn't have to be, because the bullet arrives with more diameter, weight and inertia. That means it makes a larger entrance wound, penetrates better, and makes a larger exit wound. But this is all true of the 300 win mag over the 6.5 anything, too. [/QUOTE]
