Agreed mostly. 
I do wonder if some folks are aware that a 300rum shooting 180 grain accubonds is the same bullet as a 30-06 shooting 180 grain accubonds is the same bullet as a .300 win mag shooting 180 accubonds (or whatever bullet you choose) etc. The only difference is the speed it's moving so.........why is a 300RUM overkill and a 30-06 is not?? A few hundred feet per second here and there can't make too much difference. It's definitely not making a deer more deader. Bullet quality and shot placement is where the meat loss come from. A Nosler ballistic tip is going to grenade when it hits and ruin a lot of meat, be it from a .270, a  .243 or a .300RUM.

Hahaha if that was directed toward me, yes I do know that 30 cal is 30 cal. And I really like your point.

This is a pretty cool write up, has some interesting info on penetration and velocity.

This year, since I like throwing deer 10-15 yards I'm going with the 26" 300 win mag heavy barrel on my T/C Encore. Since I'm a sissy it has a muzzle brake, but since I'm not a sissy I'm shooting handloaded 180 grain Accubonds.

LMAO!!!!!! That was great!

The only rifle I own (At least for now. I have a Browning 7mm that Santa is looking at giving me).

A Remington 770 .330 win mag.

It makes sure that the deer are dead! And sometimes makes sure with a little to much ruined meat!
