Well said Will. Suppressors also seem to pair really well with the smaller cartridges/calibers also. And they seem to be an exceptional benefit as well!I can see where you’re coming from.
To summarize:
Small is better camp argues shot placement trumps all else. Less recoil equals better shot placement, follow up, etc in field conditions. While a bigger bullet may destroy more tissue, it does not necessarily make up for bad shot placement, and up to a point does not mean significantly faster incapacitation.
Bigger is better camp argues they can shoot big magnums just fine and that all else being equal, a bigger bullet of similar construction will destroy more tissue giving more margin for error on borderline shot placement and faster incapacitation.
If anyone from big magnum camp wants to turn some heads, would be cool to see your shooting drill targets with magnum and non-magnum. Show us how well you can shoot the magnum.
One could argue that hunting mule deer you often have plenty of time to set up a perfect prone shot…personally that’s never been the case on a big deer for me. Which is why I need the most forgiving, trouble free, shootable from any position rifle.
