RE: Searching For the Mountain Spirits - In Praise of the .30-378 Weatherby Magnum
A friend of mine had a .338 Win. Mag. as his go-to elk rifle where I live just a hop, skip, and a jump from Canada. That rifle packed a good punch at both ends, but a quick Wikipedia search indicates it had at least a 600 lb-ft. deficit in power compared to your rifle there! And if you're running hand-loaded cartridges, there might be a bit more.
A bit more, and more, I would say. Sounds like you know your way around the gun. Do you do some hunting too?
I put holes in paper and carry for hostile wildlife.
