.338 Win Mag vs WT Doe.
 

Took this deer at 250 yards with a .338 Win mag shooting a 250 grain bullet. The deer was walking towards us when I shot it and the bullet took out the heart. Deer dropped so fast I had no idea where it went after I pulled the trigger lol. Over gunned for a deer but nonetheless.

I don't believe in over gunned.It's all about shot placement and bullet performance. Quick, instantaneuos, a very clean kill,animal never felt anything.Never even herd the shot.Perfect in my books.Good job.
Nice looking animal,very nice pics.
Keep it up.

Like Jeff said, a clean quick kill is more important than what caliber you used.
Well done, and dinner is served.

Over gunned or not that is a great looking nanny. WTG.

Perfect! Congrats!
Live it up! Doug

I've never understood why anybody would hunt whitetails with the magnesium type calibers, but that isn't my choice.

Thanks for the comments. I usually use smaller calibers like the 30-30, 250 savage or the .270 Win, but I figured I would give the .338 a try for the heck of it. The .338 would definitely be a great caliber for moose and elk.

Dead is dead so it doesn't matter what you shoot it with as long as you shoot it right...

looks and sounds like it was the ideal cartridge...

Nice rifle and scope:patriot:

Nice shot too:cool2:

What in the world is a magnesium type caliber, is that like a tracer............:s4::poke:

powder ignites even if it gets wet! haha

I use a .300 Win Mag. It messes them up worse then that I think. But nobody else tags my deer. They drop on the spot.

Mag stands for magnum, not magnesium. But you knew that, right?

I'm well aware of that, I'm not the one who said magnesium haha. I took a deer with a 308 norma mag with a 150 grain bullet broadside and that put a pretty good hole in the deer. Hit it right behind the shoulder and it still made it 30 yards, but thats not uncommon for deer. Bleed like crazy and ran into 3 trees lol.

Good shooting! Save me some of those backstraps...mmmmm!
