[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2954081, member: 126670"] I thought the same thing when I read that comment. Too much, too little, shreds internals, but what no 9 inch exit hole, and on the list goes. Not saying that this is always the case, but sometimes I believe that the huge cartridge theory used by some, is to help compensate for their poor performance in shooting. So if for example 25% of people who think that a 300 mag is the minimum for hunting, do so because they shoot poorly, and it helps them still get kills. Then they think anything smaller, is too small. Then we have the group who are stuck in the 1950s and think a bullet should be really solid, pass through anything and everything without any damage, and exit the animal while still going into a tree 50 yards later, and penetrating that giant fir to its core. Group 3 likes a large cartridge because they are comfortable with it, it's familiar. But they're also excellent shooters, and can see the broader picture. Likely use a more modern bullet design, and will never change using their cannon, but also appreciate others who shoot small cartridges, and lighter bullets. Group 4, they really don't care about the cartridge size, but want to find that bullet capable of doing catastrophic internal damage, they are also more likely to be good at shot placement, and also understand that they may not be packing a rifle designed for 500 yard shots, but also never plan to shoot anything that far away. Have I covered it pretty well? Ps. I still don't understand those who say its too small, but does too much damage, and wastes a lot of meat. [/QUOTE]
