[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1364993, member: 9172"] I agree...the bigger bullets seem tougher (to me) ....even comparing the same bullet...say a 105 Berger Hybrid, a 140 6.5 Berger hybrid, vs. a 215 30 cal Berger & 300 grain 338. I have seen many non pass through wounds and bullet recoveries where the smaller bullets did just as much damage, but with the smaller bullet comming apart and adding to the destruction. And all with similar entry speeds....at 500 yards my EDGE and my 6-47L are within 20 FPS of each other.... and both have taken multiple deer from the same small meadow. Not very scientific and a very small sample..YMMV. Now, as far as the OP....go with the 300 Win and learn to handload. The 300 Win/Wby with the Berger 215 Hybrid is fantastic combo and has been proven in combat!! ;) The only reason I even own a 338 is because it is legel to bait here in ND and I have had bait piles set out next to my steel targets at 200, 400, 500, 600, 650, 995, 1065, and 1365 with lots of shots out to a mile....and IMO if you plan on that kind of shots a 338 is a better choice. Of course, the last 5 years of here in ND has seen hunting tags reduced by 70% and I haven't seen a tag in as long!!:mad: Out to 1000...the 300 Win Mag is PERFECT with the 210 or 215 Berger (IMO). Just my .02, Tod [/QUOTE]
