[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1799030, member: 61747"] What makes you think a 7mm bullet has any more lethal potential then a 6.5? Terminal ballistics doesn’t generally care what diameter a bullet is. It cares about velocity, bullet design, shot placement, and weight. For many years the 7mm billet of choice was 140 grains. Today many use a 160. Run a 150-160 out of a 7 or 6.5 at the same basic speed and there is very little difference except the 6.5 has a higher sectional density and bc. At some point people need to spend time understanding terminal ballistics, not just internal and external. It’s all part of the same process and not just piece can be ruled out based on assumptions.
