[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2393580, member: 30902"] This is rather simplistic but "Placement over Displacement". Use a quality constructed bullet and put it where it belongs and you succeed. Personally I'm one that likes massive energy too so I tend to shoot things that are both heavy and move really fast but it boils down really to the bullet and where you put it. Remember the 6.5x55 has been killing all large game in the northern countries and Africa for more than a century and for most of that time without even the use of modern bullets. I never bought into the hype of the 6.5's till I spent a year shooting a .260 Rem at everything. I have bigger rounds but the truth of the matter is they are not needed when you put the bullet where it belongs. l'd say you're probably on the right track. Shoot what you are comfortable with and shoot well and you'll have a whole lot of success. [/QUOTE]
