350 legend/ 223 / 6.5 Grendel - bolt action

[omicron1792]

Placed perfectly as in almost perfectly broadside and don't expect an exit hole generally. Yes with bigger bullets easier to track because you will more likely get a blood trail and if you don't get a center lungs hit you have penetration enough to break big bones on the far side while going through any organs in it's way. Hard quartering shots are doable, shots I won't take with either my 22 ARC or my 223 running Eldm's. Which by the way my 22 ARC is going out this afternoon and will most likely take a deer. Would I expect a young kid to have the self control to take only the shots the 22 ARC is good at? No.

Not true there are pages and pages of dead animals hit almost perfectly and stories where animals went farther than expected. Funny how people rarely report lost animals.

Much much more impetus for people that make the switch to small caliber because of the thread to post their losses. That argument just doesn’t hold water.

The distance run trends toward less than monos and larger calibers.
