Little or big, fast or slow, it doesn't matter. Close your eyes and pick one. The only acquaintances who toted rifles more "magnum-fied" than '06's were also coincidentally the guys who had the most trouble knocking them down for keeps- because they were afraid of their rifles and couldn't shoot them worth squat. One fella I knew swore by his shiny Weatherby .300Mag. I witnessed him swoop down on a deer he had wounded that was trying to get back up, and since he didn't want to waste another of those expensive cartridges, whipped out his Bowie knife (of course a guy like that carries a Bowie knife) with the intention of cutting its throat. I bet that dumbass still carries the scars from that encounter. That 4-point wrestled him all over the hill side!
