Default RE: Group size vs. bullet

I am with you rather be,
Some folks look at the wrong information.
Energy and trajectory don' t mean much if your bullet blows up on the shoulder.

With todays bullets like the X and failsafe people with calibers formerly considered light/marginal can now get much better penetration putting some formerly marginal calibers firmly into the reasonable category for elk.

As you stated some folks are more consumed with the group size and energy figures. These can make a 150gr ballistic tip look like just the ticket out of a 300 magnum to the inexperienced eye.

That is the great thing about these forums. Lots of folks here who have been there, done that and can give folks the benefit of years of experience. Some people even listen to that experience.
What makes me nuts is when people ask for advice and then don' t pay any attention to it.
