[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1706866, member: 24844"] This set of articles give some insight into how much bullet is enough: [URL]http://shootersnotes.com/ideal-bullet-weight/[/URL] The main point is that doubling over the recommended minimum weight does not appreciably increase the probability of kill or time to final collapse. Go big enough that the animal has large portions of the body cavity blasted away will cause faster kills on average. But, are we talking about merely killing, or are we talking about harvesting game?
