Interesting how the op was answered and how the thread has evolved in the same age old discussions.

I have no where near the experience or MD or RinB. But I have found most rodeos involve poor shot placement rather than cartridges or even bullets. As long as the bullet is somewhat matched for the job at hand.

Been in on hundreds of deer over the last 40 years. 22 to 45 caliber, archery and muzzleloader.
Half a dozen black bear with archery and 338-06's.
Around three dozen elk with 243 to 375 caliber and archery.
A couple of caribou with 270.
Another 40 years of antelope 22-338 caliber and archery.
18 African critters Impala to buffalo with 300, 338, 375 and 404 J.

Shot placement trumps.
