There's no animal in Canada that's going to take that kind of energy and not die.
So will any number of cartridges ,it means nothing in the big scheme of things.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to hunting cartridges - light and fast and slow and heavy
There is no right answer to either school , either ., it has been argued since spear chuckers sat down around a campfire.
I have been very successful with both types , even in the 6.5x55 between the
Lighter weight 127 classes and the big 160’s everything died fast with no difference compared to my 45/70’s
I simply prefer to hunt with bigger weight bullets with a bigger meplat these days .
