good posts from
Obsessed1 and catnthehat
I sometime's have trouble putting my thoughts into words ..
the larger cal or frontal area is a advantage for large game and front shoulder shots .. all with the same bullet design
Pathfinder76 is 100 % right in the diff of a big bull and a cow elk ..
The last bull I shot was huge , not sure but only guessing at over 800 lbs live weight ..but shot at 90 yards
Does 200 fps make a diff in same cal with heavier boolit , I think so ..
One thing to think of is the 270 at .277 and the 7 at .284 vs a .308 for elk
The 270 might be a getting old cartridge and really should't be .. so for elk bullets the caliber does matter ..
.277
.284
so little diff
now a
.308
for large bulls and moose the advantage to the bigger hole
Just my thoughts and observations
I would never use a 243 or 6.5 on elk and expect to recover where I hunt ..
Again my personel
