Sherman Wildcats and Axial Precision Rifles get a little love from Craig Boddington, field editor for Petersens Hunting magazine. Keep it coming Craig
lolI knew I should've got your autograph.
The intent of the post I think was to point out the Sherman's gaining some mainstream press. Not the article about what was good enough for what.
Whatever you do don't sell him short on rank.
Huh?"I am not anti-6.5mm and certainly not anti 6.5-Creedmoor
and other mild 6.5mm cartridges. But for hunting I like to
put round pegs into round holes, and I'm tired of the wild
claims bandied about."
Well played!No wild claims to what works since most shooters on this forum and others like to say it's OK for Wives and young begining hunters to choose a 243,,, 260 Remmy,,, 6.5 Creed,,, 25/06 or 7mm-08 if they are going hunting since those low recoil rifles are great cartridges for begining shooters...
But when a man post the same question those cartridges arent big enough for a grown man...
Two sets of standards since its ok for one gender and not the other...
Dosen't the crowd all say that it's wiser choosing a cartridge and gun you shoot well instead of one that is to much to handle...
The Gal that shot a Elk a few years ago with a 243 at 600 + yards should of known better... Ha
Funny that 1 shot dropped it in its tracks on the video...
Did I mention the young fellow that just shot a Elk with a 6.5 Creedmoor at 700 + yards also took it with 1 pull of the tigger...
Maybe others are right for suggesting that """only""" young kids and gals should use light firearms for big game hunting...
The 4th or now 5th largest world record Bull Moose was taken with a worn out British Lee Enfield 303 a few years ago...
Who-da Thunk...
Cheers from the North
If you read the entire article, it doesnt sound nearly as negative. There was about 3 pages.Congrats Rich! Sometimes a little "air time" can go a long way no matter how we feel about the source (right or wrong). All the best.
