[QUOTE="Lee7588, post: 2683929, member: 123764"] Shot placement is priority, a bad shot with a big caliber doesn't kill an animal it can just wound it instead. Roy Weatherby hunted North America and alot of African game including cape buffalo with a 257 bee successfully. It seems there tends people using larger calibers or overly heavy projectiles when hunting. The favorite cartridge for poachers is a 22 long rifle, shot placement makes them successful. Along with shot placement a reliable expanding projectile is necessary., I know there are people who use match ammo to hunt with but I have also seen them never recover the animals they shoot.
