[QUOTE="Roughrice, post: 2197594, member: 118657"] I agree with the big super-fast speed cartridges to compensate for barrel length but be prepared for the consequences... those need a longer barrel to get the speed wanted. Shorter barrels will yield a tremendous fireball and deafening explosion (if that's what you want while hunting). Just saying... That's all great... but is all of that big power and speed really needed to make a humane kill? Maybe for some. The only magnum rifle in my stash is the almighty 50 year old cartridge called 300 Winchester Magnum for any game at distance the standard cases can't or wouldn't handle. Hell,...Just look around and see how many Ultra-Mags, Weatherby Mags and mostly... big Nosler rifles that were bought for hunting and are looking to move down the road with low round counts!! Well. Just sayin' [/QUOTE]
