[QUOTE="CRaTxn, post: 2378402, member: 14985"] Dead is dead whether with a bullet or bowling ball dropped out of a 747. The reality is which will you shoot better because bullet placement makes all the difference. A lot of male egos on here will show billfold target groups at 800 or 1,000 yards shot from a bench or prone but...single digit % hunters can produce that in the field. Beware the man with one gun! Karamojo Bell killed over a thousand elephants most with the 7x57Mauser/.275Rigby or .256Manlicher . Paper or computer screen data is impressive but bullets like the much copied Barnes X penetrate to vitals for DRT performance. When culling for the village in Africa my favorite was a 7x57 Rem Mt rifle with 160gr Barnes X. It took mountain Reedbuck/Impala/Topi/ Kongoni/even one Cape Buff at 142 paces. Build fewer rifles and burn more powder to be an assassin ... Seals/Rangers/DeltaForce/GreenBerets don't shot .280AIs...they shoot a lot of .308s! [/QUOTE]
