And hundreds of Alaskans pack handguns of all sorts for protection from bears, yet none of they have the power, nor ability to be shot accurately, as a 7mm rifle.
As I have been saying all along on this thread, it really doesn't matter what caliber floats your boat, bullet placement is the key. It makes little difference whether a bear is gut shot with a 243, 7mm or a 460 Wby.
This is really it...^^
And, as they say, money talks.....
....but it should be remembered that animals don't know what that phrase means.
And, while it does create more opportunities to shoot better stuff and more of it, it doesn't guarantee that the fellow who has it will do so. And that has been proven time and again.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
