[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 391140"] Sounds like we're actually in agreement - it *can* kill about anything. The question that this type question always seems to morph into is "should" it be used for this or that - then the debate starts to turn messy. I dislike anyone wanting to apply their belief system, or their perceived right and wrong on others. When I see this it comes across to me as hearing "you're not smart enough to make your own decision, so here's my judgment - use it in place of your own". That may not be the intent most of the time, but I believe it's why these sort of discussions morph into what they do. In my opinion, so long as someone is within the game regulations they're a-ok in my book. There is a time and a place for every gun we own, and it's up to the shooter to use his discretion. As for my personal experience guiding - I'd MUCH rather have a guy come on a deer hunt with a .223 that he knows how to shoot than a guy show up with a .338 cuz he likes to look cool at the range. I've experienced too many misses with big guns and very few with the smaller caliber hunters. [/QUOTE]
