[QUOTE="happylilcuss, post: 297372, member: 11618"] [b]Re: Serious question about caliber and LR potential[/b] Now understand I am not advocating everyone go out and start hunting with "light" cal weapons.. I am also not so much talking about how BC comes into play with the bigger cals.. Come to think of it I am also not talking so much about what most on here consider LR.. I am well aware how with the larger cal the error factor is increased. I am also aware how the larger cal BC come into effect. However I read on here a lot about how the 7mm is prob on the light side. It has BC better than most of the .30 cal bullets. It is my opinion that sometimes the larger the cal the poorer the choice for most hunters. Now let me clarify.... I strongly feel that no matter what rifle you choose it mostly boils down to shot placement and comfort of the rifle. If you can shoot your 243 lights out all day long but flinch every time you shoot your 300 wby than I feel you should take your 243 hunting and understand its limitations.. OK sorry for the rant I probably shouldnt have even posted this as its all conjecture and opinion.. Sorry guys.,, Flame On!! [/QUOTE]
