[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1843644, member: 93895"] Couldn't have said it better myself. The days of claiming this cartridge or that cartridge is the best, just because we own one and killed 10,000 animals is becoming antiquated. I don't need to always have the most modern cartridge there is. I can be quite effective with some of the old cartridges that were overlooked in their time because of the old gunwriters. My thoughts are, there's really not bad cartridges but there's others available that will do much better for an intended application. I don't want to get caught up today in the same thing as the folks got caught up in reading the old gunwriters content and miss out on using a great cartridge just because it's not what the so called gurus of shooting may think is the greatest. I think at least a good 80-90% or more of the folks on this forum are knowledgeable & experienced enough not to get caught up in this sort of thing that folks bought into during the old days due to going to magazines for a majority of our information. I'm not bashing nor promoting any new or old cartridges. Just saying as you said, there's enough information out there now that we can make alot better choices based off of factual information vs gun guru writer killed 10,000 animals from all around the globe in his lifetime with one cartridge and one particular bullet, with alot of gray area, fill in the blank and try to decipher how badly exaggerated the story is.
