[QUOTE="happylilcuss, post: 297654, member: 11618"] Fifty you said it much more eloquently than I could even imagine.. Your post was exactly what I was trying to say in the begining.. JE I agree with your posts as well.. I by no means am trying to say that for the expierenced user that a large cal rifle is over kill. If I lived in Grizz country I would be packing a 300 or better for sure. The Point I was trying to make is that; so many times people that dont know any better are advised "by someone who does know" that in order to take an elk ethicly and cleanly they have to use a larger mag cal. Then these same people read about the capability of the rond and then try to stretch it out beyond there ability because the caliber is capable.. For most of the folks on this site they are truely "Long range hunters" and are indeed in need of a big mag.. Like I said I am not picking a fight or trying to call anyone out.. I am in the process of saving up for a big magnum LR rifle. I have considered everthing from Kirby's 270am all the way to a 338 lapua, or 338am. I was just thinking out loud after reading a few threads where anything less than a super mag was not usefull. [/QUOTE]
