[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 452563, member: 13833"] There are so many variables involved here that to simply make a case for one round or another would be way over simplifying! I think the truth is, animals are killed by tissue damage (trauma). Foot lbs. of energy alone, do not have much to do with killing. That being said, and all else being equal, a larger diameter bullet (more frontal area) will do more damage than a smaller diameter. I think most of the arguments are caused because of bullet selection. Example:will a 25-06 with fast expanding bullet kill a deer quicker than than a .338 with a solid? Probably so! If you had a bullet that expanded as rapidly in the .338? Probably not! It still always comes down to bullet choice for the intended target, providing the round has enough poop to get where it needs to go. My opinion............Rich [/QUOTE]
