Onone antelope hunt I used my 338WinMag in place of my 270, I let my counterpart have two whacks ata fair buck at about 300 yardswithhis 264WinMag and then I just levelled the buck withmy 338. You could clearly hear the sound of the impact at that distance. The results were devastating.Mr. 264 didn't have much more to say about my "too large" rifle after that though he was full of commentary earlier.
