The 7-08 is a superior chambering,due simply to bullets.

I asked and you purposely ignored: "In your "vast" experience,what do you deem as minimum impact velocity/"energy" to effectively crunch a Buck,under the assumption of nice placement and of the non-CNS type?"

Feel free to expound upon how the 7-08 becomes less effective,the closer that hair gets to the muzzle? That'd be a new one on me and I've shot it a bit.
