[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1630280, member: 109113"] Thanks for bringing this up, Sir. I am also getting a bit weary of guys bashing this, that, and EACH OTHER. If a guy has had good success knocking down elk & deer with his .308 for the last couple of decades, the proper thing to do is to congratulate the guy - because he is a skilled hunter and shooter. If a guy has done the same with a 30-06 or a 7mm magnum, then kudos to him, too. They have obviously found the bullet/cartridge combination that floats their boat. Some guys like bullets that fragment; some prefer those that hold together and penetrate completely. Everybody likes what he likes for his own reasons, and that is his business and his alone. We all have our preferences, and some guys like trying new stuff as it hits the market. They're having fun doing it, and all the shooting they are doing is making them better shooters. Better compared to where they started out, but maybe not better than the other guy. Since I don't know how good a shooter ( or hunter ) any of these guys are, I don't compare myself to them. I think that we'd all enjoy this forum more if we showed each other a little more personal respect. We might also learn a few new tricks ……... [/QUOTE]
