[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 1735473, member: 47425"] Agree with all our friends on here on speed, bullet dia, weight, frontal, sectional, design, etc.. and placement. I'll take the scientific approach and say that bigger is better in 2 regards if you have adequate bullet dia and speed combined or if you have substantial diam and speed combined, then it is proven fact that the damage done by say 25-06, 26 nosler, 300Wby, 338 edge, 340 Wby, etc. then the sheer matter of shock plays an important role and can't be ignored. Hydrostatic, some say hooey, I've seen it and strongly believe it. Just look at a video of ballistic gelatin. With that said, remember we are dealing with a living thing and although made of the same components, they are all different and will to live cannot be measured. My 340 has taken 41 animals all with 200gr hornady interlocks at 3220-3240 and only 6 of them took a step. 2 only a couple steps, a cow elk poorly hit 300 yds , a Gemsbuck bull well hit broke both shoulders and destroyed heart and lungs and he still went 60yds wide open and a bull elk that dropped right there with heart and lungs shot and offside shoulder broken, got up and walked 70-80 yards like he wasn't hit. So placement is key in my book. Agree with the statement if you want whitetails DRT everytime, hit em high on the back edge of the shoulder and that will be your result.
