[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 575196, member: 20443"] There actually wasnt a goal given it was just my interjection, based more on my realitic expirence of ehere i hunt. Kind of food for thought. So when I see big 7 vs big 30 the argument always goes to energy in which the big 30 will always win. But theres more to the arguement than just energy in my opinion. Maybe there are more hunters that hunt out to a 1000 and beyond but I suspect that most longrange hunting takes place in the 500-800 yard range. I was just hoping to make aware that are often more factors to consider that just bullet x in y caliber arrives with this much energy so because bullet z in xy caliber is better because it arrives with more. The experienced shooters already know this stuff it's the new shooters reading these threads and wanting to learn that I was hoping to make think. My gunsmith says he has customers come in and want a big longrange shooter, he makes more 338 edges than anything, and that more of those guns sit in safes than the others because they get intimitated by them. Then they don't really listen his advice because they already know what they want. They come to places like here and read that these are the ultimate cartridge, which they are, for longrange hunting but often overlook the other factors that are equally important. [/QUOTE]
