I quess you are the one who does not understand. Math has not one darn thing to do with the fact that I feel the 300 Mag will do anything that the 338 will do. A bit of mass, a bit of velocity a bit of bullet weight, What difference does it make int he real world? NONE. The difference between the 25-06 and the 338, I can see, but in the field, the 300 wWin Mag will do the same class of game animals that the 338 will do. I have learned years ago that there really is such a thing as ENOUGH. I can see no reason for using more. In the same respect as seeing the difference between the 25-06 and a bigger mag, I can see the difference between the 30-06 and the 375 H&H. I speak of use in the field not what differences may or may not show up on paper in a book. Sorry but I have been there and done that.
