More specifically, on tough game species weighing around 150-200kg (330-440lb), speed of killing can be reduced from 45 seconds (7mm Magnum with conventional bullets) to either instant collapse or a few second delay - at all ranges.


I've been killing elk with a 7mm RM since 1982 and the only one that lasted anywhere near 45 seconds was poorly hit - my fault. Have killed quite a few with a .300WM and have yet to find a discernible difference in time to death.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
