.338 Win Mag

[Divernhunter]

^^^^ I have to agree about bullet placement. I used a 338Win mag but my daughter used a 257Roberts with 120gr Swift A-Frame bullets and took large and smaller PG all with one shot out to an actual 410 yards.
She put the bullet exactly where the PH told her and all one shot no chase kills.

Its not too big if you shoot it well...

Welcome to AH Tom, I have used a .338 WM for everything except buffalo, if you shoot it great, don´t change.

There will be less tracking to be done

Also works very well on buff. Just use a heavy tough bullet eg 275gr Swift A frame. Broadside shots will generally ho clean through

I am sure it will work on buff, but it´s illegal.
