    Sillier than a 257 STW?

    The troll under this bridge is missing the point deliberately.

    Please explain why all the bullet manufacturers make those projectiles in those weights, and just how it is they continue to kill game around the world- would quite like it if you sent an email to: Sierra, Hornady, Swift, Nosler, Barnes, Speer, Berger and ask them if they consider their customers buying those projectiles and causing their constant high volume manufacture, are in fact retarded, would like the reply posted, assuming there was one.
    Several hundred thousand current 2506 users may disagree with you, and the 117 Prohunter is not necessarally the best possible bullet in .257.

    Disclaimer: this post may not feed this particular troll, keep your hands away fro the sides of the bridge at all times.

    No calibre "knocks deer over". Write as much bull shit as you like about the .17 through to elephant guns. Fantasise about magnums, "quarter bores (WTF?)", 6mm or what ever.
    Its the shock to the nervous systym that makes them appear to be knocked over by a bullet. and that is almost totally relient on bullet placement.

    Hyperbole: exaggeration for effect

    "it exists so someone might use it" isn't a valid basis for comparison

    So from what I have just read, would everyone think a .308 Win cartridge in a MSR (AR-10) or a bolt rifle (like a Tikka T3) running a 150gr - 200gr projectile be good enough with the right shot placement?

    ***
    but as James sully asked in the first post:
    ".223 can knock over a stag?
    Wondering if it's got the power"

    the answer would be "yes" but don't do it.
    Using a bigger cartridge is better suited to be ethical and LEARN YOUR RIFLE, I.E. what it does in the wind, and at distance.

    Hydrostatic shock aside, if you blend up something's lungs, it will die regardless of caliber.

    A .308 with 150-200gr in any rifle will be good enough with the right shot placement. Tbh most rifles are deadly with the correct shot placement
