"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

Great caliber but not typically an African cartridge in my mind. "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots."
