[QUOTE="jasent, post: 1862028, member: 28233"] I can understand why many of the eastern or central state folks don’t need a magnum, heck I’ve killed tons of deer with my 243. But some of the places I hunt most shot opportunities are 400-1000 yards in country that can take you an hour to travel half mile or less. In situations like this I want to make that shot with confidence that the critter will be dead right where I shot it. With the winds you can run into shooting from mountain to mountain you want a heavy fast bullet to limit windage errors. With short seasons, low game populations, and crowded hunting areas you use whatever will give you that one up and hopefully get some meat in the freezer [/QUOTE]
