[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1740548, member: 102560"] I have found traveling to 4 continents, and hunting various game animals...bigger diameter and good bullet sectional density and penetration win the day--not DRT...which is nice but not required. Many moons ago I was hunting with a good friend on our ranch near San Angelo Texas. He was using a 22-250 ..we saw a very nice buck at the edge of a wheat field. Ricky shot that buck and he dropped like a sack of potatoes...as we approached the buck he regained his feet and moved like the wind the longer he was on his feet...Ricky used a neck shot where he felt confident...and placed the bullet where he wanted it...I have shot many deer with a 22 cal and had good results...but I have only lost one deer with a "over 25 cal" rifle....and that was about bullet I was using...if I had a choice to hunt any place any where not knowing the terrain...I'd usually pack a 7mm and above...I had a custom 358 Winchester I was in love with for awhile..it was a custom built on a Sako 591...accurate and with a 225 grain bullet I could not find much it would not kill inside 350 yards...
