[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1706896, member: 93895"] This type of question has been asked a thousand times in hunting forums and for the most part there are two schools of thought: The no replacement for displacement group and the other group that emphasize in skill, making good shots and not shooting unless you are absolutely sure that you and your rig are proven capable. A vast majority of the second group mentioned belives that you can get by with minimal lbs energy & minimal caliber size if you can consistently shoot skillfully but everyone can make a bad shot when they were sure of everything. Will a larger caliber compensate for that? Maybe & maybe not. If a fellow was at war would he rather have an enemy shooting at him with a .22 short rimfire or a 50 bmg? [/QUOTE]
