[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2274502, member: 119220"] I thought it was a fairly simple explanation actually, but I agree with you, bullet choice is made prior to the build, and when making that choice, both external and terminal performance is taken into consideration. Thats where you make your bullet choice, so yes, bullet choice comes first, but after that’s out of the way, you still need to be able to put the bullet where It needs to go. If you can’t do that, it doesn’t matter what bullet you’re shooting. You can see just right here on this forum the wide variety of bullet selections people are using with success. From jacketed match / target bullets, jacketed “hunting” bullets, solids and the tried and true classics like the Core Lokts, Accubonds and Partitions. They’ll all kill if the shot goes where it needs to. Some more effectively that others of course but small compromises in terminal performance are accepted in favor of external performance and vice versa all based on the individual shooters needs. Some guys swear by nothing less than a 300WM to kill elk and there’s others that are stacking them up with a 6mm. IMO It’s pretty hard now days with the quality of bullets being produced and the amount of experience with them, to choose a “bad” bullet. Im not arguing with you, just discussing different views. I don’t really think there’s a “wrong” answer here.The 2 are so interlinked with each other that it’s hard to do one without the other. [/QUOTE]
