[QUOTE="britz, post: 145626, member: 7865"] if your question is which one will slice through the air best, there is no single answer. What you need to consider is that certain bullets will preform better at certain ranges. For instance, a 50 bmg w/ a 750 grain bullet and a high balistic coeficient will out preform almost any smaller calibre hunting rifles at extreme ranges (1500-2000 yards). A 6mm PPC will out shoot most guns out to 500 yards. These are just two examples. You have to decide on how much recoil you are willing to take, what game you want to take, and so on. The key to "slicing through the air" is high velocity and High BC. They key to slowing the effects of wind drift is more weight for the bullet. If there was one catrtidge out there that did it all, no gun shop would be able to stock their shelves with it. It has a lot to do with personal prefference and what function you want. But generally speaking, people will be able to shoot more accurately with low recoil rifles. [/QUOTE]
