[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 162948, member: 2580"] Goodgrouper has experience that I don't with .338 mk's on game. It is my belief that the 300gr should be devastating on game as big and heavy as Elk, but I haven't had a chance to prove it. Another .338 x .378 Wby shooter in the area told me about an experience he had at the range a while back. Shooting the 300gr bullets at 2750 fps m/v, he shot 5 holes through 1/2" steel plate at 400 yds. Got mad, went home and welded the holes up, went back to the range and set up at 600 yds and shot 5 more holes through the plate. On our range, that's as far away as we can get, so now he only shoots paper with that rifle. Goodgrouper didn't say if he was using the 300 grainers, (the plate puncher is), but it sounds like grenading isn't a problem with them. A friend KO'd a buffalo bull in New Mexico with a .340 Wby I built for him (with Nosler 250 gr partitions). I wonder how the 300 gr mkhp in one of the bigger .338"s would handle Tatanka? Tom [/QUOTE]
