[QUOTE="Pmacc60, post: 1629672, member: 64018"] A shot placement and well constructed bullets at modest ranges will do the trick every time regardless of caliber. As long as there is still foot lbs of energy at impact most of the high power rifle calibers of 25 and up will kill ethically and put meat on the pole. For myself I have found that I do not always get chances at modest ranges all the time and many chances come at less the perfect angles. Yes I like less recoil and accurate cartridges but there comes a time when I want enough gun. Limited time. short seasons don’t always give me the luxury of picking the perfect shot so I will go for bigger bullets , with good coefficients .284 and 30’s. Why push the envelope of performance with the 6.5 non magnums when I can just pull the trigger on something I know can get it done. Old school I guess ! [/QUOTE]
