[QUOTE="h_1ag, post: 2868287, member: 121794"] A 7.6mm bullet is not dramatically larger than 6.5mm. When we get up to .338 (8.5) diameter is becoming significant (25%). 5%, 10%, 1%, 25%, Whatever- pick any number you like because there’s not a true means of proving that animal A would have died if shot by cartridge B, but terminal ballistics tells us that the same ballistic concepts (velocity, penetration, energy, etc.) that cause a 300wsm to be lethal are present at very similar levels when using 6.5prc. My point here is simply that the gap between the two is fairly small and just how small is a quibble. But we should all be able to agree that the main advantages of 300wsm are poor shots at close range, so if that’s your hunting plan- that’s your chambering! .375 H&H is (obviously) effective at longer ranges… but it’s not effective for guys that can’t shoot well at shorter ranges anyway.
