[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1365020, member: 8873"] I agree that a .300WinMag is all you need, but what does needing have to do with?:D I’ll tell you this, the .300 can be cheaper to load (notice I said “can”). These last two posts are right, size of the projectile isn’t necessarily the deciding factor. The make up of the projectile matters more; along with other factors such as shot placement, impact velocity(etc). In saying that, the only example of what guys are talking about as what some would call overkill just happened to me. Shot a buck with what is apparently a very soft & quick opening bullet in a large caliber and it mangled the deer. That wasn’t exactly a close shot, about 1/4 mile. Then again about the only time I’ve seen that much damage to a deer was with a .257 Weatherby Magnum w/ballistic tips and low & behold...a 30-06 with a 180 corelokt. However I’ve shot animals with larger caliber-more heavily constructed bullets and was not impressed whatsoever with the performance. [/QUOTE]
