[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 297633, member: 10306"] To be honest, I'm kind of offended that because I shoot a .338 RUM at 100-600 yards I am "macho". I have grown up shooting larger rifles all my life. I think that by far the most important factors are shot placment and distance, but becuase I dont mind the recoil of a braked .338 RUM I am puffing my chest. I dont have an issue with people using a 270 on elk, I just decided that I liked a bigger cal. One reason for a larger caliber is becuase I hunt in grizzly territory and can only afford one rifle for everything (except a .243 for yotes). Maybe this is not what you guys meant, but it kinda came across as condecending to a new LR hunter. [/QUOTE]
