[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1504060, member: 77631"] Indeed it does!!! a 7mm in the heart is better then a .338 in the guts. Now the flip side is this. a .338 in the guts (bad shot) will kill quicker and do more damage then a 7mm in the guts again a bad shot. Another thing people over look is the fact the bigger caliber make a bigger hole in and out. AND displaces more tissue AND hold more mass for deeper and bigger wound channels. I am not against the 7mm. I just happen to use 30 cals. But we have to be honest a 7mm regardles if it has the same ftlbs [USER=69648]@1000 yards[/USER] it will not have the same killing power as a .30 or .338. The old saying of "theres no replacement for displacement" comes into play. Not to mention the guys that guide and see 50 plus elk harvested a year (hundreds over the last 4 or more years) with the 7mm .30 and .338. Most agree same shot placements the .30 and up do a better job. Even with a "perfect" shot. [/QUOTE]
