So... I have a theory that a small cartridge kills whitetail better than a large one. I have gathered this after shooting 30 some with anything from a 223 to a 300 weatherby. Perfection being a 243 or 6.5 creed.
What id like to do, see, or read about is measured exit velocity from shells like 7mm mag, 300 mag, 338 lapua, etc vs 223, 22-250, 243, 6.5 creed
My theory is that a 300 mag might impact a deer with a 180 gr at 2700 fps and leave the deer with at least 1,000 fps remaining. Where as a 243 may impact at 2,700 fps and either remain inside or barely exit.
Thoughts?
