[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1675063, member: 71039"] Bullet diameter has little to do with the bullets ability to reach the vitals or break through a shoulder. At 300-400 yards a 6.5 creedmoor or 260 rem has plenty of velocity and energy to reach the vitals if you use the right bullets. Based on your argument, a 140gr out of a 7mm08 or a 308 would have been more effective - that is just not true. You didn't use the right bullets for the shot you guys took. I have taken several with a 115gr bullet in a 25-06 out to 500 yards and never had any issues with penetration. [/QUOTE]
