[QUOTE="huntforfood, post: 2868663, member: 114703"] There was previous thread talk of energy and velocity comparisons, say .30 cal vs 6.5 cal, and seems like that and the bullet diameter is not that much different BUT, take the same comparable bullet with these two calibers (berger hybrid or bonded bullet) shoot them into mud and you will notice that the larger cal show a more dramatic expansion diameter than just the few thousands of an inch when the bullet is unfired. This is just not apparent until you see them for yourself, in hand. My point, that expansion diameter is way more volume on the larger cals and with proportional velocity and mass to penetrate through vitals, the volume of damage through that animals volume should always be much better/larger. After digging up various expanded calibers in the mud from target shooting paper, it is very obvious that what is small diameter differences in a cartridge makes for a much larger mushroom volume. Also, the large mass of the mushroom has momentum and mass to sustain that volume through larger animal chest cavities ad contact heavy bone. I have plenty of 270s and 6.5 prc, but if I am going elk than it is gonna be 30 cals. [/QUOTE]
