[QUOTE="jfloyd, post: 1996371, member: 73643"] Very well said and great article. One of the reasons any 6.5 punches above its weight is high Sectional Density IMHO. That is a whole different rabbit hole but certainly plays into the effectiveness of any caliber. I am in the “Give me an exit hole” camp. I’m sure that’s from my bow hunting background but I want a blood trail “just in case“. The ideal performance for any hunting bullet for me is expansion in the vitals and an exit hole. I don’t want it to blow up on bone or dump all of its energy “in the vitals” and give no exit. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket basically. Speaking of bow hunting, by the numbers an arrow shouldn’t kill either...😃 [/QUOTE]
