Sans, for a guy who tries so hard to sound intelligent, you certainly have a knack for missing the obvious. You castigate Boddington for naming a �best� cartridge, and wonder why he would write about such a thing. And the answer is not only right under your nose, but in your own words above.
I�m 100% certain that if you sat down with Boddington and asked him if there was a single �best� cartridge for each species, he�d say no. But he writes for a living, and things like the best elk cartridge are what people want to read about, and what sells books and magazines. So he obliges.
Boddington and Mule Deer have forgotten more about rifles than you�ll ever know. If either one got hit by a bus tomorrow, and you spent the rest of your life hunting as much as you could, you wouldn�t come close to what they�ve done and seen. Guys like Mule Deer make this site worthwhile; guys like you just make it harder to weed through the bullsh** to get the good information.
Are you tell me that there was modicum of knowledge conveyed in Boddington's article?
Tell me, omniscient one, what is the single best cartridge for hunting mule deer. Take all the time you need. I can wait...forever!
It was wholly useless information undoubtedly published for entertainment value. The answer was right under your nose but you've failed to see it because you were too busy trying to morph the mundane into absurd.
