I've been carefully looking at the bullet performance chart that was posted on another thread. Very revealing. There is a lot to the statement that bullet construction is possibly as important as caliber.
My present theory is that anything from .25" diameter to .323" diameter, at least 100 grains for the smaller bores, more for the larger ones, and good bullet construction is going to produce a dead deer with decent shot placement. Everything beyond that is just personal preference.
I'm even back to flirting with the idea that a 243, with a 100 grain Grand Slam, at 3,000 fps is adequate for pronghorn (125 pounds). Some of you may remember that I was gravitating toward the other side of that issue.
