I did not mean to imply that with my post.

I've loaded and hunted with.....

6 x 45.
6 x 47 (x2)
6mm BR Remington
243 Win
6mm-284,
240 Weatherby.

Ive killed stuff with all of them with no problem.

For me its more about the terrain where I hunt, and the fact that I'm a meat hunter.

I prefer two large leaky holes caused by tough bullets at moderate velocity.

If I have to track, expecially at night, I want a blood trail a blind man can follow and I like to be able to eat right up to the bullet hole.

I have found that small diameter/frangible bullets typically do not give me the blood trail I desire should the critter not be DRT, and those at magnum velocities do a bit more meat damage than suits me.

ya!

Thanks for the clarification. I much prefer the 7mm bee , it is a hammer on game although it needs a sturdy bullet to reduce carnage.
