There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.

While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified so it can carry at least 5 down.

In general, those who have time to make close to a 1000 posts a year know more about hunting and shooting than people who make their living in the hunting and shooting industry that have typically spent 150 days in the field or at the range each year for the last several decades.

In general those who have read enough books on the topic even though they have never actually done it, become equally or even superior to those who have done it.

In general those who sit at the bench and shoot 10,000 rounds a year know more about hunting then those ........ whats the use, see previous......

If an expert with a $7500 rifle can make a successful harvest at 750 yard on an elk then any Kmart rifle with a tasco scope and weaver rings should too, cause it's shooting the same cartridge.

This last one can be changed to say $1500 bow and 75 yard shot too!
