I get a kick out of shooting them and am utterly bored with the small stuff. Once again, for some of these guys to suggest you'll make a poor shot with a magnum and make a good shot with a small caliber rifle on game is just ludicrous. You put the crosshair on the vitals and pull the trigger. Same same regardless of what caliber of rifle you are shooting. A bullet in the guts with any pill is not good as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to hold it against anyone that can't handle a magnum caliber, but don't tell me I'm going to miss what I'm aiming at just because I pack one... wink Not directed at you 1deernut, but the sansucki types....


I shoot a ton of magnums, maybe not really big ones, but the 338 Win Mag and 35 Newton class rifles quite alot. There isn't much difference to me between those and my smaller bore rifles. You have to shoot them correctly and with good form. If you "limp wrist" them, they'll tear you up.
