In Sweden they did a hunter survey on cartridges used in the annual moose hunt and they found the animals didn't die any quicker or travel any farther with the big bores.375H+H [was mentioned] or the 6.5x55 for that matter.No surprise bullet placement was more important.............Harold
That's all well and good. I hope all of your shots are perfect in your hunting career. If you ever do have a shot that is not perfect, I hope it ends well. You chances however, will be better with the bigger bores on a marginal shot. If you've never made a marginal shot, then you haven't been hunting very long. I know shot placement is important, and I don't look down on the folks that don't use bigger bores. However, I do understand the reasoning behind the folks that do!
