[QUOTE="gte901m, post: 1638108, member: 80740"] Shoot whatever you want - freedom is what makes our country great. I view the "too much gun" question from a different vista; is the gun/bullet/velocity choice appropriate for the task at hand. I bracket my definition of appropriate on the low end with "will it punch two holes at the expected distance" and set the upper limit as 2x or 3x multiple of the lower. My 375HH w/ 1-5x scope shooting 200 grain Sierras (designed for 375 Winchester) @ 2,000fps is fantastic for white tail & hogs at 150yds or less. The bullet expands perfectly. I would consider the same rifle slinging 260 accubonds at 2,800fps too much for whitetail at that distance (carries 1,000ft-lbs and 1,300fps out to ~900yds on paper). No point in losing a tooth filling if you don't need too. [/QUOTE]
