Larger diameter bullets allow more room for error?

[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1538426, member: 104022"] Yes and no... Let me explain. It is much easier to make have good bullet placement for a quick kill at 670 yards than at 990 and so I am confident that the 6.5 would do the same job. The 215 at 990 or at ANY less range will be more forgiving because of punching a bigger hole (blood loss) more damage to bone, (shoulder or ribs) and 215 grains of fragmented bullet pieces compared to 140 grains of fragmented bullet in the vitals. This is why people say it is more forgiving at longer ranges. Sometimes more is more!! Why would I limit myself to 670 yards using a 6.5 SAUM on a elk hunt when I can shoot out to 990 yards with a 300 WM? [/QUOTE]
