We had a domestic act of terrorism several years ago, a nutjob took a .338 rifle and managed to pierce the Alaska Pipeline, under pressure it spewed I think over 100,000 gallons of oil before it was found and plugged.

For those that are cartridge illiterate its a round that is highly favored here in Alaska, it is heavier and packs more punch than a 30-06 which most people consider a heavy round, I have a Ruger .338 myself and I handload my ammunition.

That would be an understatement. .338 packs WAY more punch than 30-06. (My shoulder hurts just thinking about it.)
