[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2281217, member: 8873"] What most guys that gripe about other guys using larger calibers & cartridges do not mention is the flip side of it. You never mention those of us that can and do use them properly. Or the fact that with a larger caliber there is also the capability of having a higher BC projectile, and with a larger case comes more potential to get that higher BC projectile to a higher velocity. What does that equate to? More (better) down range performance. Forget the terminal part of it for just a second and let’s talk about what most seem to say is most important…actually hitting your intended target in the intended spot. So let’s flip the script for a second and say that statistically the probability of a hit increases with said larger caliber/cartridge combos and the further out you go the more it goes up exponentially due to one factor that nobody can control…the wind. Try and find a smaller caliber/cartridge combo that will exceed (or even match) a .338 or .375 slinging 300-400 grain projectiles with a BC of over well over .8 G1 @ over 3100 fps. That’s alright, I’ll wait. You can use whatever you want, I don’t really care. You can also spin it however you want to convince yourself, I don’t care what you tell yourself to make you feel better. Just remember that there is the ability to perform and then there is just straight up performance! They are not the same. [/QUOTE]
