[QUOTE="stirner, post: 1559651, member: 44287"] oops. I guess i hit the wrong key. Here I go again. Then I look at the byline, where I should have looked first, to see who wrote it. If the author's name is followed by a title such as "field editor" of "dog editor" or "BS edtor", then that person is owned by the periodical, and is forced to produce words to fill space on a monthly basis. Relevance, quality, accuracy (fake news), it doesn't matter, fill the space. If there is no title after the name, I have hope. In this case, I was disappointed. Bottom line was: If you hunt large animals, use a large cartrige. DUH, common sense. Another one that always irks me is comparing sectional density between calibers, using bullets of the same weight. By definition, the smaller caliber will always have a higher SD. DUH, common sense. If you are looking for a new rifle, set your criteria. What is the primary use. Is weight a factor? Range, etc. Just don't be swayed by something being popular. Tomorrow, another cartrige will be more popular. [/QUOTE]
