[QUOTE="the gman, post: 1699662, member: 11950"] 6.5x55 Swedish has been killing literally millions of moose in Scandinavia for over a century with plain old dumb bullets so the bullet diameter isn't an issue. When you shoot relatively fragile bullet into water jugs at close range, did you really expect them to not blow up? How many deer do you shoot at 25 yards? As has been said multiple times, bullet placement is the key with a decent bullet that shoots acceptably in your rifle. 20 or even 15 years ago, it was an exceptional factory rifle that would shoot under 1" at 100, now it's commonplace. We've become spoiled by technology and are overthinking much of what we do. Partition bullets were developed precisely because of the seperation issue and that was in 1948. This ain't rocket science people. Choose a good bullet, load it appropriately for the purpose and shoot it to determine accuracy. The accuracy will determine your effective range, then its down to you to place the bullet where it needs to go. [/QUOTE]
