[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2849695, member: 313"] It's amazing how much "some" guides don't know about rifles/ammo/ballistics. I had a guide tell me that my Ruger autoloading Rifle in 44 mag wasn't enough gun for shooting black bears over a bait site that was 20yds away. A long shot would have been under 50yds in the dense underbrush. I had another guide tell me he prefers 30cal cartridges for whitetails because the friction with the air burns the bullets down to about 7mm before they actually impact an animal. It's not the least bit surprising that some people don't realize the significant differences between traditional cup & core bullets and today's modern mono-metal bullets. [/QUOTE]
