My luck held and I was drawn for a cow elk tag again this year. I plan to use my new .338 Win Mag.
Last year I wasn't entirely satisifed with the way my 30/06 peformed on elk, so this year I picked up the .338.
I've loaded two hunting loads, one with 210 grain bullets and one with 250 grainers. Both are Nosler partition bullets.
I'm trying to decide which load to hunt with. I'm leaning toward using the 210 gr since, in addition to being easier on my shoulder, they shoot a bit flatter and group a little better than the 250's.
These Arizona cow elk avaerage about 500 lb.
Am I making a mistake by choosing the lighter bullets?
Thanks in advance,
Bottom Gun
