[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1735499, member: 56839"] Theory or truth? Shot placement is the best indication of how far animal travels. I have a 220 swift, I shoot 50 grain Sierra bk(3900fps) on deer in head or upper neck shots. They don’t run. Yes some deer are gonna walk because I can’t get the shot, oh well. I have a 300 RUM my son in law shot with 225 gr accubond at small deer at rear of lungs....it ran 20 yards. But regardless of this, I wouldn’t hunt brown bear or Cape buffalo with my 220 swift, I’d use my 375 h&h. No real theory or truth, just common sense. We all know what we are capable with our guns, if we actually use them. Our hunt club drops way more deer with 300wm,30-06, 308 and 270s then with 243s. Just our observation. Shoot what you like and can shoot well [/QUOTE]
