Large caliber vs. small caliber debate

[Clark33]

That is a lie. Find one post I have made arguing against small calibers for big game. I may have said I see no big advantage small calibers possess over other larger cartridges.

Cool, happy for you. You looking to argue or you just wanna let it be and have a nice day? I like my 6cm and my 6.5prc. I do not care what you hunt with.

I wonder how much KE my 77TMKs had on the deer I shot this year? But I don’t really even want to know. They killed my deer really dead regardless of how much KE they did or didn’t have.

Did the projectile exit the vessel of the medium it was shot into? If so, the KE is uncalculatable as the remaining energy isn't know when it exited. If it did not exit, then the projectile used all the calculated KE inside the vessel of the medium it was shot into and therefore, the calculated potential KE was the actual KE used.

It's not the voltage that will kill you it's the amps, or something like that.

Did the deer die? If so all that was needed.

The line of demarcation is 6.5 creedmoor. Gotta leave that in the cool kids club but anything bigger than that we gotta quit talking energy and start talking wallp

I don't know about that. Seems 6MM is the upper edge of small caliber cool. .257 is seldom spoken of.
