One of my editors once observed that anybody who's only used the .30-06 can't write a useful article on the .30-06, no matter how long and wide their experience with the cartridge, because they have no perspective.
While some gun writers do only write about their personal tastes and prejudices, the only reason anybody would read their stuff is to confirm their similar tastes and prejudices. Quite a few writers (and not just gun writers) have made a good living doing exactly that. But if we really want to learn stuff, in any aspect of life, it's necessary to expand our education and experience. Goddammit John that was downright insightful........

Mule Deer, with your lack of current knowledge on this topic, and recognizing your astute observations about the current presidental administration earlier in this thread,maybe you should become a political correspondent rather than continue as an out of date middle aged gun writer! Middle aged! 62 is OLD, friend.
What fresh Hell is this?

...because they have no perspective. Ah, yes. Perspective. That's the difference between an ass kisser and a brown noser.

Tell it like it is man! And that is just if the whitetails are small, and shot at close range from a good rest! Even first year hunters are better off with at least an /06 for deer, and if they are really big deer, a 338 is not too big. People don't feel recoil when they shoot at animals anyway, and more power is always better to make up for a bad shot. For elk, the 338 is just the starting point, if used with premium bullets, especially if you are a non resident hunter who only has five or six days to hunt or if you haven't had time to practice a lot. Try to be a tad more flowery and verbose and you could be a gunwriter, at least you could've 20-30yrs ago. No-nothing gun salesman abetted by such gun-writers have sold countless uber-magnums to many such poor souls for decades. Barsness started poking holes in the uber-magnum theory quite some time ago, to his credit. I always liked Seyfried but he was always FOS about over-bore cannons, and even he's recanted in his later years. He used to love to poke fun at 308 lovers. How cute. He's making fun of you and you don't get it. He's obviously a tard, what's your problem dope dealer?

7mm bullets are European. 308 bullets are American. Where does your allegiance lie?

Ernie How does it work if your 7mm bullets are made in the USA and your .308 bullets are European made?

The .29-08 wildcat is a fine compromise, but very few shooters know of its advantages. Few people realize the .284 & .308 calibers are both 7mm's.
