[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1341157, member: 7999"] No argument necessary. Speaking in generality the larger dia bullet makes larger dia holes in tissue. Larger dia holes have less chance of missing the necessary tissue that causes death quickly. Or when hit well the bigger hole works more quickly than the smaller hole. Using your theory on killing ability of one caliber compared to another there is no point in using anything larger than a 22 caliber bullet. For that matter nothing more than a .22lr is necessary to kill any animal in the North American Continent. I am pretty sure you don't think that is the case and you must draw a line at some point. So all things being pretty equal for drop and drift with the selected bullets and cartridges I stand by my original statement that larger dia bullets kill better than smaller dia bullets. I will also add to that and say that there is no such thing as being over gunned when hunting. The only way one could be over gunned would be if they can not physically handle the chosen weapon. Sorry if I irritated you with an overly simple statement. Steve [/QUOTE]
