Much BETTER with a small bore????

Where do you get that idea? If you and I both down an elk, you with your small bore and me with my big bore, how does the small bore end up BETTER if both shots are properly placed?

Quite honestly, your comments offend the hell out of me. I'm tired of being told how I should do it, or how the way I'm doing it is unnecessary.

And just what does the term 'overkill' mean??? Please define.

Let's now take a large mule deer at a distance of 150 yards. Can't get on the lungs so we'll have to anchor a shoulder. Me with my 50 calibre pill going along at 2150 and you with your 6mm bullet travelling 1000 fps faster.

Shall we compare blooded meat from that shoulder?

Big bores are fun and some just prefer them. Small bores are fun and some prefer them. So what's the problem?

I'm not going to get into dangerous game where stopping power and killing power are clearly differentiated.

By your logic, a truly skilled hunter would be using a 17 calibre. Wouldn't that be better than your overkill 243?
