I know and I appreciate you narrowing down my gun safe! Gonna simplify an awful lot for me. I def spend more time studying maps and scouting than reading and studying ballistics no doubt so I will heed your advice and just go with a 22-250 for all my hunting. Should be fine I believe since all my hunting is 400 yards or less I believe. Thanks again for the help. Been enlightening.

I certainly have pics from blacktail deer shot with a 375 hh while hunting on kodiak that showed less internal damage than those pics above so you are 109% correct you can't tell any difference between what is shot with a 22-250 or a 375 hh so might as well save the $$$ and recoil and do it all with the lighter recoiling and cheaper to load rifle.
