[QUOTE="hawk4974, post: 947919, member: 77330"] With all of the talk around "what is the best caliber for....." why is it that you don't hear much about energy transfer? For example, hitting an elk with a 250gr .338 will transfer it's kinetic energy better than a 150 gr 7mm Mag assuming the same energy down range. The best way I've heard energy transfer described is would you rather get hit with a fast pebble or a slow brick. Maybe the theory is implied but to a newbie it would seem easier to explain this as opposed to BC, velocity, etc. Thoughts, theories, and postulations please.... [/QUOTE]
