[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 432997, member: 9705"] QUOTE=phorwath: Shoot a similar weight Nosler Accubond out of .264, .277, .284, or .308 caliber rifle into a deer-sized game animal from a similar-sized cartridge, and I don't believe the hunter shooting the weapon would be able to predict which caliber bullet was in use based on the animal's response, or by inspecting the internal wound channel in the animal. +100 on that trial. People couldn't tell the difference unless their mind was made up. Those that have a problem with .284 are blowing one or two instances out of proportion. They can all fail if you put the wrong bullet at the wrong speed into the wrong place. When you pull the trigger the animal, angle of shot, bullet expansion characteristics, distance/velocity, etc all have to come into play. I'd also second LTLR. You'll only see a real difference if you move up to 338 or bigger. IMO, those uncertain about the terminal performance of various bullets should stay away from the soft bullets like Bergers, Amax, and Ballistic Tip and instead use premium bullets like Barnes, Accubond, Swift, and North Fork. The tougher bullets are more forgiving on bad shot angles. [/QUOTE]
