personallay I feel any caliber of proper energy and correct bullet type for the task at hand, YOU like,!~
will be all anyone needs for the game your after!
I have owned and shot thousands of rifles, and stacked up a ton of kills over my life time with many different calibers from 50 bmg down!
and bullet placement is # to all things, after that, its again, having enough energy and a correct bullet for the animal trying to be killed!
pick "X" caliber you like and have at , learn to use to and know its limits and YOUR"S
there is NO magic bullet or caliber period
, that kills things when your not hitting vitals
its a lot of splitting hairs and personal preferences when your dealing with so many calibers of like performance and stat's!
some folks will always like"X" better than someone else, and have difference results too!
some love chevy's some don't, same deal with many calibers and rifle brands IMO!
