[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2494616, member: 109862"] Not at all being short or contentious here: but “most popular” and “best” are almost NEVER the same thing in my experience, not just about guns either. I know the closest answer to correct is probably “the biggest thing you can HONESTLY shoot well” but I’ll remain biased to fast 30 cals personally till the day I die probably. The larger bore cartridges are great and have merits of their own but one thing people don’t always factor in is minimum expansion velocity, along with the effects of projectile mass and sd in relation to resistance met dictating how well a bullet expands and “causes mayhem”. The fast 30s (and I’ll begrudgingly admit the fast 7mms, but only as second best 😁) really do occupy a terminal ballistics sweet spot out to very long distances in my humble opinion. It’s not all in my head. It can’t be!🤣. It’s not in my head, it’s not in my head, it’s not in my head, it’s not in my head, it’s not in my head……I’m not crazy! [/QUOTE]
