[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1725369, member: 108965"] I'm very familiar with Nathan's studies and I agree with him, but shot placement and bullet selection also play a huge role in this. I preffer 7mm vs the 6.5's and yes I know they've killed tons of animals but this is my personal preference, bigger bores cause wider wound channels with the proper bullet of course. I've dropped many deer in their tracks including the big mexican desert mulies with a 7mm-08 with a 139gr SST up to little over 400 yds and several coues deer just under 500 yds. When I say dead in their tracks I mean did not take one step. Bullet selection and shot placement also dictate how fast an animal dies, not just a bigger caliber cartridge. My boring in the middle crossover suv 7mm Rem Mag LOL has effectively killed everything I've shot, due to proper bullet selection and shot placement, just like my 7mm-08, my old 280 Rem and also the good ol' 270 Win. The deer that did not die right away was because of a poor shot, not because of a bad cartridge. Its a combinations of things that make a cartridge deadly or not. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
