[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2738495, member: 94556"] Don’t sell yourself short. I think you have plenty of intelligence. I look at cartridges and bullets separately. Cartridges are for launching bullets at a given speed but once the bullet leaves the barrel it’s all up to the bullet. Any bullet impacting at a given speed will behave the same regardless of the cartridge used to launch it. Exactly how the bullet behaves in the target is a function of multiple factors none of which have anything to do withe the cartridge other than the impact velocity as long as the distance is considered. Two exact bullets launched from 2 different rifles at significantly different speeds will behave equally the same if hitting the same target at the same speed. The bigger cartridge launching the bullet at a higher speed can be used at a greater distance from the target to get the bullet to impact at the same speed. Two significantly different bullets hitting an animal target at the same speed will behave very differently due mainly to their materials and construction. The cartridge used has nothing to do with the bullet behavior other than impart the speed to the bullet. Viewed this way a 308Win isn't inherently “ better” than s 300 WM other than the fact that the WM cartridge can ultimately launch a given bullet at a higher speed. [/QUOTE]
