I've read through a lot of Sticks post and there is no doubt the man is educated concerning rifles. I remember Stick saying there is nothing one can't do with a
7mm-08 and a 162 amax leaving the muzzle at a pedestrian 2700 fps.

I'm thinking Stick would laugh in the face of MPBR endeavours when they only get one to the 400 yd line at best. grin

I personally think MPBR is rather useful and I sight nearly all my rifles to hold at top of back at 300 yds. For most bullets traveling 2700 or thereabouts it ends up being close to a 200 yd zero.

I wasn't quoting Stick for his opinion on rifles and cartridges. I was quoting him for his quote.

I did, however, quote BobinNH for his opinion on rifles and cartridges, the point of which was to reinforce the position that if you haven't had animals hit cover before you had time to range them with a LRF, you haven't hunted much. Just as Bob said, even in the era of laser rangefinders, high velocity can be useful.
