[QUOTE="eyeball 2, post: 509671, member: 8976"] i'm talking a leg flopping on a deer hit from the side at approximately 4 inches above the body line where a high-powered rifle (and yes, i must waste our time dictating a large game bullet) would NORMALLY have produced rapid death. now be obtuse if you wish. i'm sure in YOUR capable hands a 22 cal is ok for elk and cape buffalo. i have a friend who took a 5x5 bull elk with a 223. i killed a 350 lb muley with a 33in. neck (neck shot-but i almost didn't get the shot i needed) with 7 in. bases, but if i had had my 270wby mag or 300rum to make the 250 yard shot in wind and brush it would have saved my underwear. i was lucky that day. you are probably right, we made it for centuries without big game rifles and probably dont need them now. well, i did shoot a nice running whitetail at 200 yards once and hit it in the guts with the 270 mag. glad i had it since i gave the deer an hour and followed the gut/blood/slime trail 200yards and got my 20 in. 11 pt. I've killed bear, elk, muleys and w,tail with a bow-but it's now the best thing to get dinner with. [/QUOTE]
