[QUOTE="txaggie1, post: 2895518, member: 113838"] I think we would all agree on shot placement is key, bullet performance (ie: expansion) is another key point. I don't disagree with anything stated above regarding kills with match bullets. But comparing someone who's spent years in the industry vs an average joe (which most of us are) is apples and oranges. I'm not sure what everyone's limitations are nor is that job too each is own. I can show you two guys in the south and southwest texas region who make a good living with tracking dogs and they both will ask you when you call them was it a bow or a 6.5? The knock on a 6.5 is the people either do not know their or the bullets limitations (just picked up ammo at bass pro or academy) and that it does not allow for bad shot placement and sometimes with goods shot placement. One of these guys makes enough annually to pay cash for a pickup! LOL so again we all have scenarios to defend each side, know your limitations and allow for error as most of us are not perfect and we do get excited/rush whatever bad shots happen we spend allot of money on the sport hedge your bets is my view especially if i'm paying money for a hunt.
