[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1500754, member: 30902"] None of the game animals we shoot can tell the difference between a 6.4 Grendyl and a 26 nosler when they are hit. As I've said many times before the minimal gains in the new rounds, or whatever upgrades we make to our guns beyond basic accurization make a difference that exceeds what our equipment is capable of in our hands. The one gain is in shooter confidence which is one of those ingangibles that obviously has a great effect. When shooters are confident their hit rate goes up dramatically but you're not going to have greatere confidence in something new vs what you have proven to be dealy with in your hands for years, decades or generations. Mario's kids will grow up shooting .260's and 7mm STW's and the occasional .338L. Just imagine what it will be like for someone on the net or a salesman in a store to ever talk them into anything else? It's mostly the guys not happy with or confident in what they have had that will be jumping from new round to new round looking for some magic. By the time they find one they won't even realize that all that really changed is how much time behind guns putting downrange and that's what is making shooters of them, not new toys. [/QUOTE]
