[QUOTE="Holierhoek, post: 1724157, member: 81889"] Everyone has an opinion. however.... I have a little model 7 in 260 and a savage in 6.5 creed and I shoot 142ablr bullets in both the little model 7 has 6 deer to its name with that bullet the savage has 4 the last 4 were dead right there I mean right where they stood. now I have hunted all over this country and have had a perfect behind the shoulder shot on a muley with a 180gr ballistic tip bullet out of a 300win run like I missed him and pile up 100yds away and ive used a scirocco 2 the following year and stoned him at 506yds. what's my point? a well placed shot matters more than the bullet choice. most my shots are behind the shoulder but if the animal is in the rain or thick hard to track or in the late afternoon ill shoot em right in the shoulder when that leg is back takes their wheels right away... thus the bonded bullet. yep you lose some meat but you don't lose the animal and I think its way more ethical to waste a little meat than lose the whole animal and ruin all the meat. lastly the published BC is really in the high 500s or low 600s. no where near 700.
