[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1864604, member: 108965"] In my experience heavier and bigger bore will kill more effectively. Now bullets have changed a lot in the las 30 years, bullets now can expand quicker and destroy an animals vitals and drop them in their tracks without exiting the animal, shoulder shots aren't always needed to anchor an animal anymore.. In my experience a cup and core will kill more effectivley than a monolothic bullet. Mono's sometimes fail to expand when not used properly, cup and core can also fail but are more forgiving. The larger the bore the bigger the wound channel therefore faster blood loss. Heavier bullets also tend to penetrate more. Today's many bonded bullets with higher BC's offer an option to make smaller caliber cartridges more effective, there's more weight retention and with it more penetrarion, this bullets however also make the larger bores more effective. Bigger is better and heavier for caliber bullets are better as well. I'm not saying a 243 Win or a 6.5 CM are bad, they aren't, but in my experience a 7mm or 308 caliber cartridge kills more effectively. [/QUOTE]
