[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 583008, member: 30902"] 40,000 years ago my ancestors on this continent were killing creatures that make our largest game animals look like puppies with rocks and sharp sticks. That doesn't make it a good idea when we have better choices in weaponry available. For the true hunter marksman choice of caliber is of far less consequence than proper bullet selection and shot placement. I'm something of an expert at using inferior calibers to do thing they were never intended to be used for (see the attached photo .204 Ruger and hogs killed with it) and have done so quite successfully for a very long time. I will not however encourage others to do the same and think it's a very, very bad idea to do so. This is a forum, we are here for discussion and no one has a right to try and silence these discussions except our host. [/QUOTE]
