Its been my experience that shot placement is a factor no matter what gun your using. Going with a larger caliber gives no excuses for poor shot placement.
On deer, any well designed .224 bullet will travel through the shoulder bone and tear up vitals and the 60gr partition will also travel through a second shoulder too in my experience.
Yep. The point for me is, most everyone can shoot a .223 well, but not everyone can shoot a .300 Wizzbanger well. I'd take a 53gr TSX in the boiler room over a 180gr TSX in the azz any day of the week, but I'm funny like that.
