[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2341024, member: 1521"] I believe I've learned from similar experience, just smaller animals. - When I hit Groundhogs with 95gr 24cal VLDs, they're blown all to pieces, and then half the little pieces try to wiggle away! I end up pulling GHs out of holes by their intestines to SEE them dead (a count in my percentage). - When I hit GHs with 50gr FB BR customs in 22cal, same distances, they just tip over without so much as a death twitch. The difference is that the 22cal bullets I'm using never exit (bodies). ALL energy is released INSIDE the GHs. Overall, my 223Rem has been a more effective killing stick than my 6BR. So I think you have a good point. But there are a lot of factors, and first has to be accuracy IMO. I would not give up accuracy for velocity, or even for better terminal ballistics. [/QUOTE]
