I think they point they are trying to make is the caliber used is useless unless they are comfortable enough to place the bullet in the vitals. to do that they need to practice. As for deer, I had to drop back to 243 after shoulder surgery. the 95gr Nosler Ballistic tip 243 drops deer dead in their tracks just as fast as my 7remmag does with a 150gr Ballistic tip. Overall, i think we really do practice overkill on deer sized game. When I first started shooting after surgery it was 223 only. I did lots of testing, question asking, and found a very large number of people using 223. I hunted with 60gr Ballistic tips, and had the same humane kills. There is only one draw back to using such a violent expanding bullet. Shoulder shots result in loss of meat. A well placed shot in the middle of the vitals literally jellys the lung, heart & liver.
Good luck to all.
