I never intended to stir up a hornets nest anyway,I just stated a fact that no one has or can prove wrong. I know everyone has their pet caliber.I know that James Bs 300 is a potient rifle, though it's not the (end all ) of power,at the same time neither is the 338. But Nutions law still rules!!! The truth is that most game killed in this country with any of the magnums could be dispatched just as cleanly with a 243 or 270 and with less meat screwed up.The critter that was shot aint gonna look at you and say( is that all the gun you got ) ha-ha.
