Nobody wants to talk about this?
As you have read, drt usually involves animal hit in the nervous system.
A well placed shot in the heart, double lung, etc often results in some walking before death. Often less than 1 min.
It doesn’t take a 338 Lapua to do this. Besides, coming out of a 20” barrel, it will have lots of recoil, but about the same effectiveness as a 338 Win Mag. Most of us can “handle” recoil, but our best shooting comes from something 223-308 sized. 7 rm, 300 WM, 338/06 might be better choices as may a 22” barrel.
