[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1596430, member: 69192"] Thank you for posting this reply. This is one of the most honest, common sense responses that I have read from a person who is out there experiencing the realities of hunting. Being out of breath is a common variable that is oftentimes left out of the equation when taking a shot in a hunting scenario. I was a firearms instructor for 12 years, one of the trainings was to get the recruits pumped up before they started shooting so that had a sense of what it was like to run up stairs or run a distance before having to make a shot. I am ole school ([I]sometimes condemned[/I]) however there's nothing wrong with the .270, .308 and 30-06 to get the job done. The .270 and .308 are a little milder on the shoulder. The 6.5-06, .338-06, 300WinMag, 300 Weatherby are long range contenders left out for one of the new designer cartridges that are being promoted my ammunition and firearms manufacturers. If a hunter is not recoil sensitive and can accurately shoot the heavier cartridges, then by all means that is what they ought to be hunting with. [/QUOTE]
