Indeed.
- .223 (.556), .243 and 6.5mm Creedmoor
The 65CM is more of a long range round although I use it to hunt at closer ranges also. Mainly I use the .243 with the polymer tip 87gr Vmax projectile as pictured as it has a super fast velocity and hits hard on impact. The .223 is for small game like foxes although I've used it on kangaroos and deer, just at closer ranges like up to about 250m. I mostly look for head shots, especially with the smaller calibres as it's more humane.
Yeah, I bet that bigger bullets make the heads go boom by force of impact.
They cause more damage yes, that's what dispatches the animal quickly so there is no suffering. In a slaughterhouse where they kill animals for human consumption it's often not as humane. There's many videos on YouTube demonstrating what goes on in abattoirs however most are simply happy to eat the conveniently packed meat and are not willing to understand, or see, how it is processed.
Well, I get that point. I also remember there's a famous book about that. Can't remember the name. It's not so simple as that since there's not enough game everywhere to hunt for your food. And it's not legal in every country. Let alone the right to bear arms.
