So Superpig: By saying that there is no need for better tec. on new cal. . I guess that you have only one gun that you shoot everything that you hunt with . Im not trying to make you mad or start a major arguement here, but there is a high demand for different and better calibers, different bullets, powders, ect....... There is a place for everything. if we weere all the same we would only have one gun in the same caliber. Thats like saying that there was no reason for the allmighty 30-06, or the new 7mmSTW. Here is a thought . Take the two rounds that you load in the 30-06 and the 300win mag to the range. and you will find out why the 300 win mag is still around today. I own a 338Rum, and I didnt buy it to impress the guys at camp. I bought it becous I dont care for Weatherby ammo, or their rifles. cost to much money. One more thing before I go . If a 338Rum with a 250 grain Swift A-Frame factory bullet. Travles faster and Hits Harder at any range than a 375 HH mag. How does it not have more penitration than the 375HH?? Just a question.
