Wrong.

is there any way I can setup a filter to weed out these pissing match threads? I always get sucked into them, and end up watching the drama, and it always ends up the same way.

everybody pissed off, convinced the other guy's a moron and they are genius, know-it-alls?

everyone speaks in absolutes, and is right in their own minds, and perhaps.... there alone.....

funny databit..... 80% of drivers believe they are "above average" drivers. Just think about it....

I know lots of guys that can shoot small calibers rifles fine but can't shoot bigger caliber rifles worth a schit. I think it's because they can let the small calibers rifles kinda float I guess you could say on their shoulders and don't pull them tight but big caliber rifles they know they have to pull tighter which makes any little movement worse. Granted they could get over it with practice but it doesn't matter to them because they still tip stuff over with smaller rifles

I love elk killing threads.

I am right.

Shooting a magnum rifle (anything short of true dangerous game rifles) is a mental game. Guys shoot smaller caliber rifles well because they read and are told they should shoot them well.

I guarantee if one could get posted/printed enough that a 8LB .243 recoils to violently to shoot well most people would shoot one poorly. People like to believe certain things and most don't shoot enough to find out for themselves.

All a rifle has to have is a little recoil and a little blast and people will start to believe it will hurt them.

I love those 80%ers...

You're out of line sir.

You are wrong.

I've seen this dozens of times. Guy can't shoot his magnum. Switches to a smaller rifle. Shoots a few rounds. Realizes it doesn't hurt. Kills an animal.

That's alright though, you are wrong far more often than you're right. Your theory is completely bullschit anyway, as plenty is written about how 300 Mags are quite shootable, and other such nonsense.

I don't like to shoot obnoxious rifles and have learned I really don't need to.

If you would quit hanging with guys that shoot only one box of ammo per year you would soon find out for yourself. People that burn lots of powder can shoot anything they want.

Keep spewing your bullchit though. Plenty of guys like you want to believe it. If you told those same guys their cartridge was the best they would shoot them as well (or as bad) as they do the smaller caliber rifle. Cause if you tell the truth when they switch rifles they are still pizz poor shots.

Bahahaha.

So what you're saying is that High Power shooters should switch to 300 Ultra Mags. The cartridge would really perform at long range, and since the competitors shoot them a lot, they would perform just as well as their 6XCs and such. Huh, wonder why that doesn't happen?

Dumbazz.

thank you...

This thread is another .243 vs .25-06 in the making.

243.

25/06 sucks.

You need to be more rounded........




And by that I mean GFY.

No stupid that's not what I am saying.

If a competitor decides he wants to HUNT (this is a hunting forum) with a 300 RUM he will certainly be capable of it. It won't maim him or put him in the hospital. All he will have to do is want to hunt with it. He will kill as much game with his 300 RUM as he would anything else.

But giving a guy that hunts a 6XC will not make him a competitor. He will have burn some powder to be competitive.

If one guy shoots his 300 RUM ten times a year and another guy shoots his 6XC ten times a year both will be pizz poor shots. If you give the 300 RUM shooter the 6XC it will not miraculously make him a rifle shot.

Read that slow and often stupid.

Dink

243 can take a lick off my bag

Too much gun?

So how much does one have to shoot before he can consider himself capable of going hunting?

You sir are out of line.

Funny thing is, I've NEVER seen anyone who could shoot a 300 Mag as well as they could a 223. Funny how that works.
