[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2177253, member: 103303"] You have gotta think in terms of surface area A circle with a .308 diameter has 15% more surface area that a circle with a .284 diameter. My experience is not as prolific as some here, but on dozens of moose and elk I have seen the 30's hit harder and create more trauma. Shot placement and Bullet performance are however the two most important factors when it comes to terminal performance, so I get what you are saying - how much of a difference is .024" really going to make? The answer is 'some' [/QUOTE]
