[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1725693, member: 96226"] Uggh, the one-ring-to-rule-them-all fallacy. Assuming you mean from medium to properly large game, then no one option is right. A deer requires a lot less snot than something elk sized and if you get any bigger than elk then you need to being a whole lot more snot to the party yet. Something in a .284" bore, something in a .338" bore and something in a .375" bore. All bases covered. In my experience a .284 properly motivated will do anything up to the 300lbs area. A .338 just does a better job when they start getting up toward 1000lbs. After 1000lbs I wouldn't bring anything but a big bore meant for >1000lbs animals which occasionally fight back. [/QUOTE]
