[QUOTE="dakor, post: 10578, member: 2204"] Here is what gets me People always say use a 338 with a 225 grain bullet but if you look at a 300 with a 220 Partition it has more energy and more Sectional Density then a 338 even more sectional Density then a 250 grain in a 338. I think people also forget that a 300 case is bigger than a 338 case. Take my 300 for example a 200 grain Barnes TSX going 3005 fps has 4010 ft-lbs at the muzzle and at 100 yards it has 3564 ft-lbs and at 300 yards has 2794 ft-lbs with a Sectional Density of .301 how can that not be enough cause a 338 shooting a 250 grain Partition at 2700 fps has 4047 ft-lbs at the muzzle and 3508 ft-lbs at 100 yards and 2605 ft-lbs at 300 yards with a sectional density of .313 am I missing something here? I am not trying to be a smart *** just wondering why you wouldnt want more energy at impact and why when people talk Big Bears the 30 cal is looked down on I mean if you take a 300 RUM, 30/378, or the Warbird and they have way more power than my 300 Win mag are they not big enough for bears because the bullet dia is .308?
