[QUOTE="Farmerboy78, post: 1690985, member: 105999"] I may be wrong, but here's my idea. It depends on bullet design and construction. You need to choose the right bullet for the game you're hunting. The old design bullets and way of thinking is you needed a certain amount of energy to kill an animal. Modern designs say you need a certain velocity. I think it's in the middle. I would shoot a Cape buffalo with a 22-250 and a 300 h&h is overkill for pronghorn. My middle ground is choose the correct bullet construction and cartridge for the correct game. There will be overlap with the different bullet types [/QUOTE]
