Lippy is good,just costly after all the cards are on the table.

Give ballistics a thunk and see where it takes you. Your focus is amiss and by a mile.............

Question: Who considers .284 a "small" caliber though?

I don't doubt the 7-08's effectiveness on deer (who would?), but is it "small?" What about .264?

Not trying to stir the pot, but for some reason, I just figured that "small caliber" topped out at something less than .277.

If 200 is your normal range you need a 06 powder column with anything on top of it.

That way you can reach out to double that distance if you have too.

Well at some point the increase in caliber has to matter.

.257 to .277 is a .020 jump
.277 to .284 is .007
.284 to .308 is .024

And so it goes. You can inch your way to 8mm then .338 then the .020 to .358. At some point you have to draw a line and say "OK, a __________(fill in the blank) caliber rifle isn't 'small.'"

Again, I'm just asking...

Agreed. Totally.

1. Bullet Placement
2. Bullet Construction
3. Headstamp

Projectile mass coupled with a good B/C has always been my train of thought...as you say headstamp not so much...most calibers discussed are plenty potent for most hunting situations and hear again we see individual preference.
