[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1914863, member: 91402"] Efficiency is finding the best way to achieve your goal - and we all have different goals. I have always looked at efficiency in a hunting rifle as something that gets the job done with the least amount of effort. For example, you can load a .270 Win. with a 180 grain bullet, a 30-06 with a 180 grain bullet, and a 338-06 with a 180 grain bullet and they will use approximately the same amount of powder and produce the same amount of recoil, but the 338 will give you superior velocities. Others might prefer the 30-06 because it has a better BC for longer range. It depends on your goals. [/QUOTE]
