[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1564294, member: 75451"] I have followed this lengthy thread, and have found it ranging from humor, to logic, to borderline lunacy! With the knowledge that I’ve accumulated, I have concluded: that when I achieve absolute perfection as a shooter, my weapon will never fail to place the bullet “precisely” where intended, I have an animal that will not move “no matter what may disturb it” as I send the bullet on it’s way, there will be no errant wind changes from muzzle to target, there is no potential for mirage to alter the sight picture, with no chance of “any” other things that may go wrong......I can cleanly, efficiently, kill large game (namely elk), sub 25 caliber bullets, of lightly jacketed construction, obviously with high BC’s, with the said bullets hitting exactly where they are intended, out to ranges where nothing short of the Hubble Telescope will provide adequate target visual. In conclusion, Because “all” potential environmental anomaly’s cannot be controlled....I will continue to use a caliber and bullet type, and weight that will allow for a small error of bullet placement. The simple, and undeniable facts are.....all of the above stipulations are an impossibility! Obviously, it is the hunters ethical responsibility to be the best that he can be when taking, or attempting to take the life of a game animal. It “only” seems logical that the hunter, no matter how high their self esteem... use a bullet appropriately sized and designed for the game animal hunted, should be the primary requisite! JMO, and now stepping down from my soap box! memtb [/QUOTE]
