I am all for using better bullets and I have always considered myself a decent enough shot. But how many of you guys are actually consistently shooting game out at 500-700 yards every year where the energy trade off actually becomes substantial between a 6.5s/280s/whatever and 30cal?
I know that personally I try to limit shots within 300 yards for ethical reasons because I KNOW ill hit where I am aiming. For longer shots I just think there is too much to go wrong, especially when in the field not shooting off a bench. This is where I think trade off with BC and SD become null between 30cal and whatever caliber you guys are arguing about now(I think its 6.5cm?).
