[QUOTE="Johnslam, post: 1672997, member: 108621"] There is a multitude of factors at play when it comes to the terminal performance of a particular cartridge versus another. Maximum transferable energy is big. But, so is bullet selection and shot placement. Many dudes on this thread have killed pigs at short range with 556. It all depends. Depends on the animal and how that round acts once it strikes. I’ve shot pigs with 556 before, but they were all head shots. Personally, I wouldn’t shoot them with anything smaller than a 6.5 Grendel. But that’s just me. I always aim to have the max amount transferable energy on target with my selected platform. [/QUOTE]
