[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2952239, member: 100742"] Just my humble opinion to my friends here, but for me, using a caliber that is generally considered way too small, is as incorrect as using a caliber that is way bigger and mor powerful that necessary, and the shooter cannot control it. With the exception of the top 2 or 3 percent of the excellent precise shooters (present company included here ) who can take big game with small calibers, the rest of the hunting population who shoot three rounds or LESS a year prior to the hunt, should be discouraged from attempting such a feat. I am sorry to say I know way too many "Hunters " who literally shoot one or two rounds at a 10 inch target at 100 yards, If they print in the black, they say the ,magic words. "Thats a Dead Deer ". and that's it!!! A box of bullets should last 4 or 5 years. I think the game deserves far better consideration that that. A small miss with a small light bullet, can result in a wounded animal, and the same hold true for the guy using his 300 Win or Weatherby mag, once a year, and hitting the deer way too far back, causing a long tracking job, and a delayed death of the animal.
