That's exactly what I'm getting at. I'm not saying a 30 cal is no good, I'm saying it "seems" there is a trend that started out with the long range shooting community and has filtered into the hunting community, that high BC's in the 6-7mm range seems to be where it's at. I know that the 338 is the long range king but it's not very user friendly in a hunting platform.
