Great article, don't have much to add, but I have found shot placement trumps diameter, and velocity. I have taken about 12 Whitetails and Mule Deer with a 9.3X62, most were neck shoots. A couple where shoulder shots and one an ass shot at a running doe, none of them made 10 yards other than rolling down hill. I have also taken about the same amount with a couple of 6.5's, 6.5X55 and 6.5X57. About the same result with similar shot placement. I would expect similar results with about any caliber with sufficient size and velocity. I am a on old school guy, I do like the heavier calibers for woods hunting.
