[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 348888, member: 10"] This DRAMATICALLY depends on the type of bullet being used. For a modern, pointed ogive bullet used in rifles, I say certainly for being most effective at "quickly" and "Cleanly" killing big game. If your talking about a big bore chambering using bullets with wide flat nose designs, its not nearly as critical and in fact, expansion on this type of bullet can actually decrease effectiveness at quickly killing game. Since we are chatting on LRH, I assume you are referring to the former with sharp ogive rifle bullet designs. Caliber also has some role to play in this as well. [/QUOTE]
