and [bleep], if a 165 AB outta a '06 ain't good enough to kill any elk living, I'm getting out of the game.
Point conceded, but having flung many hundreds of each downrange out to 600+ yds, the 200-NAB from the Winnie (or I presume WSM) far outclasses the 165 from an '06 in terms of
ability to hit. It's not subtle.
The 200 will drive deeper up close too. Areas I hunt elk are nothing like the terrain you got that nice bull with your 7 SAUM.... I'd take the deer-penetrating bullet for a quartering- away shot that might need to go through some wadded up grass, any day, over the 165.
It's really simple. What works? Why, both do of course. What works
best from the two choices? The 200 from the WSM, running away.
