Yep, I agree.

If I only hunted wide open areas, the 6mm carts or even smaller would probably get the nod quite often, but I don't. They will kill plain and simple. The majority of my hunting is in very thick areas, areas where a death run of a mere 25yds can be like finding a needle in a haystack when you don't get an exit. I've killed hundreds of big game animals and I can pretty much count on sparse trails when I shoot .257 cal or smaller when the cns is not struck, even with monos. With larger cals, I just get better blood trails and for me personally, shorter. It's not a question of if they will kill effectively, I know they will. I just prefer punching larger drains in them.
