[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2491314, member: 109862"] Well that I can agree with 100 percent. But I do maintain the medium bores don’t deserve their reputation. Mainly, people act like 30 caliber magnums are somehow a universe apart from .33s and even .37s for recoil and shootability. They’re not. Of course they’re not the same but in my (admittedly very limited) experience, in rifles of equal weight, if you can’t shoot one of these well, you probably won’t shoot any of them well. I 100 percent agree, do not try proving some stupid point about how big a gun you can shoot and go cripple some poor creature because you can’t handle it or are afraid to practice with it. But I also believe in using as much firepower as you HONESTLY can shoot well. And many guys are confident and competent as all get out with their ability to shoot big 7mms and .30 cal magnums but they’re perhaps just afraid of the unknown more than anything else and intimidated by the .338s and moderate .375s as if they’re gonna beat the snot out of them. All I’m saying is they’re not as bad in comparison as a person whose never shot them might think…I had some fun a while back with a friends unscoped lightweight .375 hh and now i need one haha [/QUOTE]
