Gee smokepole, not that Bob needs a defense from me, but he is one of the most reasonable and cordial people on here.

Anybody can use what they want and good shooting, but Bob didn't just advance his opinion, he expressed a physical reality. And I think it's safe to say that the magnum 30's [/b]are[b] often mentioned as a recoil threshold many don't want to go beyond. The '06 has even been mentioned as being at that level by different writers for decades now.

Anyway, what is it, seventeen pages? Pretty incredible but I do realize there are young and new folks reading who can benefit and learn so all's good.
