Default RE: Is the Ruger 204 Big enough for Whitetail

Its made up of bullet size in fractions of an inch, the weiths of the bullet in grains and the velocity of the bullet. The theory wont kill a thing unless you roll it up and swat a fly with it. It is and has been for many years, a way to compare one caliber or bullet size to another. No more or less tham comparing fps or lbs or m. e. Nobody I know is trying to belittle smaller cartridges by refering to TKO. All bullets would have a TKO however that alone means very little by its self No bullet weighting 2000 grains at a velocity of 50 fps is going to have much killing power. No bullet weighing 2 grains traveling at 10000 fps is going to either. Its when you combine sufficent bullet weight size and velocity that you get killing power or TKO or ME. You can't seperate the parts and come up with the whole.
