[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 807021, member: 12995"] Not true if the lighter object is more aerodynamic (same or longer, with slimmer profile), but weighs less, they should be about equal on the playing field in that aspect. If you take a 180gr 7mm and a 185gr .308 caliber and follow trajectory the 7mm will win every time, b/c it is more aerodynamic and ballistically superior. The .308 might leave a bigger hole, but if it has more wind drift, doesn't shot-placement have an effect on how much the animal bleeds? Location, location, location... Once again, not saying anything is better, I am pointing out that everything has its pros and cons, and is not so cut and dried as "bigger is always better". [/QUOTE]
