[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1629574, member: 96316"] The fact that high BC bullets do everything you say is not disputed. Terminal performance, in it's non-abstract form, is a term used in the context of ability to make a sure kill quickly when the bullet placement is correct, of which BC alone is not an indicator. Most of the highest BC bullets in general hunting calibers are made for target shooting, and are sub-optimal for penetration. My OP is not about me being biased towards any one thing. I felt the need to draw attention to the many opinions that are being spouted as evangelical, that are not based on empirical data. New things are cool. Flat shooting , low recoil target rifles are great, and if anyone is going to make comparisons, please just quote the numbers, and avoid describing feelings. As I mentioned previously in this thread, there are a great many calibers with a much greater number of bullet types, weight and construction, and any one of them can be used for some form of hunting.
