You mean Eileen and I have to resuscitate all the antelope and deer we've shot with various .257's at 300-400 yards?
Yeah..., and funny how it wasn't "too heavy" for a woman.
For some men (strictly speaking gender here) there seems to be a need for bigger bores, and as seen, bigger engines... could be a 'compensation' issue I guess...
A girlfriend, when choosing her rifle, chose a 257 Roberts. She was able to bear the weight of that gun just fine, perhaps because she was a strapping 5'2" and 118lbs. It wasn't too weak of a cartridge in her hands, but then again she was shooting those screaming 117 grain factory loads.
