I seem to recall something about 'you can't beat light done right' and 'boolits matter more than headstamps'. Just can't recall where I heard that.... wink

The irony is that it's proved by all the posts of kills made with 'inadequate' calipers/chamberings AND by the stories of schitty results with those who use 'enough gun'!

Guess I'll stick with my itty bitty inadequate .223 and un-suxed .308 with Scenars...

P.S. What kind of winch you got in your Tacoma??? laugh

Mojo,

I've also noticed something here at the 'Fire... those that shoot the most, hunt the most, and kill the most don't shoot uber-anything. Funny because most every other forum would lead the casual observer to believe that an uber-something is needed to kill a prairie chicken.

I'm impressed that many here value shooting skill (and the practice needed to get there) along with time in the woods more than energy calcs or uber-chamberings. Shooting in volume, reloading, scouting, and hunting take time, a lot of time. Dwelling on foot-lbs, magnum cases, etc. seems more like a crutch for those that don't do the above.
