[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 608579, member: 23486"] My (limited) understanding of caliber size & it's effect on terminal performance is this: The larger the diameter of the bullet, the larger the cross sectional area of the projectile (obviously). The larger the cross sectional area the more shock/trauma exerted upon impact, at least in theory:D. It reminds me of the old buffalo hunters & their rifles... Them ol' boolets didn't go very fast, but they sure could lay the smack down... [/QUOTE]
