[QUOTE="fariswm, post: 1535333, member: 11234"] For me, the purpose of the larger caliber is not to be able to shoot game at extended ranges. At my age, I think 400 yards is a long shot and if the game is 6 to 700 yards or longer downrange I am going to try to position myself for the closest shot I can take, hopefully not spooking the game animal. I think it is called hunting. The bigger calibers don't have to be magnums, but I am comfortable shooting my .338 or my 7mm Exact without flinching. I have practiced with both until I am shooting less than MOA. Bigger calibers make bigger holes and with some soup behind them don't let bone or ligaments stop them. [/QUOTE]
