John,

I have no line & the comment was not about any cartridge at all; I simply stated that drawing conclusions about bullet performance on whitetails is pretty worthless.....................UNLESS all you ever intend to hunt with that bullet is very light, small boned animals of similar size.

Most any bullet works quite well on whitetails.

As you, & everyone else here knows as well, that same bullet(s) that might be absolutely devastating death beyond compare on whitetails, may very well be an equally devastating disaster on elk, or moose, or even large mule deer, just to make the point.

I've killed almost 50 of those too, several have weighed over 300lbs live weight. They're not any harder to kill than a whitetail, IME, when a good bullet is put in the right place. Yes, that includes 6.5CM's.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
