Looking at this thread makes me wonder how we can ever have an intelligent conversation about lack of power in rifle cartridges....even the milder one's are a world of destructive capability.
The animals don't stand a chance.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Not as big as some of these but about 150 yard shot from up above, 300 RUM 180gr Accubond 3250fps. Little brother's first bull when he was 12. 7mm-300Wby, 160gr Accubond at ~3400fps. Not sure how far the shot was.

Lots of wasted meat in some of those pictures.
Different strokes though... my ideal is complete penetration from any angle and distance I prefer to shoot, caliber in, quarter size or basically double the bullet diameter or so for exit hole. Doesn't take much to kill one.

my thoughts exactly. when you can only kill one a year, you re-think blowing huge holes in an animal. it wastes too much edible meat, and when you depend on the meat, that is not ok. the pics dont bother me in the slightest, but do make me envious of some of the guys who can kill so much in a year they dont have to be too picky about what shot they take.

Funny how a picture can trigger a smell memory.
