Gee........doesn't bullet weight, mass,diameter, expansion characteristics,penetration,impact velocity,rpm's, bone breaking (immobilizing effect),deep and wide wound channels, count for anything?
By the time we finish with this ballistic relativism and reach its highly illogical conclusion, the 243 will be as good a Cape Buffalo or brown bear cartridge as a 375 H&H....and we know that ain't gonna happen.
The reason we get so mixed up with this stuff is that we shoot a lot of game of 400 pounds and under with a bunch of cartridges of pretty comparable ballistics and bullet weights; don't see much difference,and conclude that bigger is never better. I doubt this holds true if game is 2-4 times bigger.
In the long run,and against a wide range of game, I don't think that dog will hunt.
