[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1026249, member: 12443"] Well i can only speak about the area in which i hunt, and those i know who use 338s. First off very few kills are made at distances beyond 1000 yds. You can only shoot the animals youve first found and thats not always easy due to poor conditions. Also, most shooters arent proficient enough to be comfortable about shooting very long distances. Talk is one thing but actually doing it is quite another and that includes me. Velocity is also a factor which can help a poorer b c bullet. Experienced hunters i know tend to stick with what works for them regardless of what others might think. That of coarse includes the distances we hunt and shoot. Its no doubt gotten to the point where its easier to build guns and produce bullets for them more capable than most of the people using them in a hunting situation. Some of us know that and others are slowly finding that out. But in theory you are correct. [/QUOTE]
