[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 483753, member: 10"] A persons post count is meaningless when it comes to their basis of experience. I have learned from posters that have only single digit post counts. I have also read some things from posters that have several thousand posts that make me sit back and say WHAT THE HELL DID HE JUST SAY!!!! Case in point, I just read a post where someone stated that he saw a 105 gr berger VLD driven to 3390 fps out of a 6mm-284 be used on a bull elk at 80 yards and it works GREAT and the bull did not even twitch when he fell. Now some new long range hunter reads this and takes that to heart but when he gets in a similiar situation, what will happen when that paper thin jacket happens to land on a shoulder knuckle instead of slipping between a couple ribs. Just read on another post where we were talking about what bullets to use for Canadian big game and one guy recommended using match bullets for the rifle and then pack a 454 on his hip for protection if needed. The Canadian RMP may have a big problem with that as its not legal to bring a handgun into Canada for hunting. Again, if you do not know what your talking about, please, for the quality of this board, keep your hands off the keyboard. If you have something to offer that is based in factual testing, feel free. IF we disagree, big deal, thats part of the fun but when its obvious that there is no real experience behind the comments, it just gets hard for new members to sift through the garbage to get the good data. There are usually at least two ways to skin a cat but when its clear no cats have been skinned and its just opinion or second or third hand experience being passed along, thats when it can get bad, or even dangerous to a new member. Not to mention possibly wasting alot of time and money. When we post a comment, there are always reactions to what we post. Make sure our OPINIONS do not cost others alot of time and money and headaches along the way. We are here to help, not offer opinions. [/QUOTE]
