Jerry,

It's the best post because the rest all involve the typical minutiae-obsessing over big game rounds. I have taken and seen taken a LOT of big game over the decades, with a lot of different cartridges, and the longer that goes on the less difference I see in how various big game cartridges kill game. As long as the bullet expands and penetrates sufficiently in the vital organs, they basically all work far more similarly than not.

Is the .257 Roberts the ultimate cartridge? No, which is why my friend Desertranger had his tongue firmly in his cheek when posting this. But obviously many other Campfire members took it way too seriously--which they generally do when big game cartridges are discussed.
