[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 2271475, member: 30671"] .338 RUM, 180 grain Accubond, 3550 fps will destroy an antelope. So yes, one can hit smaller big game hard enough to produce results usually reserved for varmints. Cavitation, bubble, hydro-call it whatever. Last animal shot, antelope about 90 yards. 6.5 Ultracat, 124 grain Hammer, 3960 fps. 3 observers all saw a "wave" begin at POI traverse the animal, and return. (Like pushing on a water bed). All impacts have to cause a ripple of some kind, the larger the ripples have to have some kind of effect on anatomy and physiology. High velocity is great, high velocity in larger caliber more so.
