[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1324820, member: 1521"] That's not what I mean't. Terminal ballistics matters, but rationally sufficient here is covered with a lot of cartridges and bullets. Many of which are difficult to employ accurately at distance, and when you hit that limit you're really done. Out of power.. David & Goliath At 500yds, I would rather a single brain shot with a 223Rem, than an *** shot with a 50BMG. Neither is ideal. But you know, I could drop a moose or a grizzly with a same broadside smack to the temple. Hydraulic shock will knock em out, shards of bone in their brains, they won't get back up. Not even a death kick. I know this first hand with deer, so I know a 243Win is in no way deficit -provided it's accurate enough. That's the prerequisite attribute, and it's applied for thousands of years in human history. Our small smart weapons will continue to evolve, and this is ideal for LR hunting. With my tiny 6.5wssm Imp/139Laps(equivalent to 260AI), I could drop any large game in North America, with one cold shot. Something smaller, a 6.5x47L/130VLDs, or 6BR/95VLDs, would work just fine for whitetails out to ~500-600yds. And if you can't get that close, then just don't shoot until you do. If you're accuracy breaches killzone closer, then go to your capability. That's smart hunting. [/QUOTE]
