[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1267577, member: 10291"] I agree fully with this. As I tally and observe long range kills over the years with both a 6.5x284 and a 300WM, I am more and more convinced that the terminal performance of the bullet in terms of penetration and expansion characteristics plays a much greater role over a .04" of difference in diameter. Biggest is not always best when balancing all the considerations in ones LRH rifle. Usually, a bad hit will be probematic regardless of caliber with little difference in outcome. My choice of caliber and bullet type is based on the premise that I will hit the intended kill zone... and will kill the animal.....no more, no less. [/QUOTE]
