That’s how silly these threads become. You’re not wrong, but neither are the guys shooting .243’s. As you say, quality bullet in each then they both work, well let’s also put a quality nut behind the wheel then too ok. Cartridge discussions seem to always derail to shooter discussions...be a lot simpler if we could leave the shooter out. Some of the deadliest old timers I know shoot the 6mm stuff. Also know some deadly mofos who magnum all the way. Both are right, quality shooters using quality cartridges and bullets, novel idea right?
So remove all that and just look at cartridges or maybe bullets first, then what cartridge will drive it to speeds you like. It’s simple formula. When comparing bullets then s.d and construction are the big factors, not diam. and weight even though more of each works fine too...saying the opposite isn’t effective will not fly, just won’t.
For the sub 300 yard guys/gals that can place em more often than not then it’s a whole new world out there with effectiveness not many can envision.
