[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2182777, member: 116486"] All things being equal he probably said that many years ago. What did he mean by it? The technology has changed, I am sure projectiles have evolved. I expect hunting styles have changed a bit. I reckon long range hunting is now more common and is the new normal using bullets to suit the application. If the comparison was say a .270 vs.30-06 under 200 yards on game with a comparable projectile of the time then the .30-06 and the bigger .30 probably almost always caused more damage and quicker kills. One thing we can't do is repeatedly take the same shot on the same game animal for comparison. Penetration and wound channel tests can only be accurately repeated on testing medium. [/QUOTE]
