[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 166597, member: 1007"] I have seen 7mm's and 6mm kill deer very fast. I have seen 338's kill deer very fast as well. There are so many variables to think of. Smaller diameter rounds have some killing qualities such as a faster twist rate to stabilize the long skinny bullets. The higher the RPM, the greater the shock wave inside the critter by way of centrifical force. Bigger bullets such as the 338 have lots of frontal area to transfer bullet energy to the game for a shock value albiet it iis a different type of shock than a high RPM shock. The point is, match the bullet and caliber to the game youre hunting. [/QUOTE]
