Default RE: Power vs. shot placement

Oh crap, the dark side???? Maybe I should sell it!!!

Actually I would have been shooting a magnum a long time ago if they all didn't have belts.[:'(] I hate belts on a cartridge. Of course a 300 mag of the long or short variety is anemic compared to some of the "super" magnums we have now.

I would love to have a .338 Lapua mag if I could afford to shoot it. Sticking to the medium weight bullet of 250 grains at about 3000 fps. or a 225 at about 3100 fps.

P.S......I still say that a .270 is perfectly suitable to elk hunting.
