More of exactly my beliefs also, well said.

And from that link from rokslide posted in the other thread there were three things I thought worth quoting and hearing again.

1. “Believe me I struggle with this too. I love big 30 Cals. But I do find with the lighter caliber I am more accurate especially if the rifle is lightweight too.”

2. I got more comfortable with seeing them not “register the hit” more decisively. There’s definetly a difference in how they respond to a 30 or 33, but it hasn’t affected the status of my freezer and the feel good factor of the impeccable marksmanship the smaller round contributes to overrides the feel good factor of seeing “a harder hit”

3. “Had very similar results with the 162 eldm in 7mm08 on a bull at 600. Ill post my findings on a different thread.”

I just thought the 7-08 was brilliant...may as well call that the 7 Creedmoor lol.
