Bigwhoop, you are right on target with that statement. It does'nt matter what you are toting, if you do'nt(can't) hit'em in the right spot with the right bullet,it matters not what cal. rifle it is. That is why I see more magnum rifles for sale here in Alabama. After getting the daylights kicked out of them and missing a few deer, these poor sould have to eat a bit of crow and admit that they can shoot a 270 a lot better than they could their beloved bazzoka. I think we all go through that stage of thinking that we need a Hardenkicking-Loudenboomer,and being "rifle looneys', we can justify them, but when the grey hair appears, they loose some appeal. I own both 270 win and 280AI and would'nt spit for the difference, but I built the AI because I just wanted to--is'nt that what us gun guys do? Sometimes the caliber discussion reminds me of the Ford vs Chevy dispute--hell, they will both take you to the grocery store, but we enjoy the debate.
