Yeah I dont "need" a 395HP V8 in My F150 but I like it, just like My .300's 👍 and I could care less what anybody else shoots (even the phag's that shoot creedmoor's 😁) .....Good hunting...Hb
Pretty Similar here.
What difference does it matter to anyone what Rifle or cartridge someone else likes and uses??
Self assurance ? Insecurity ?
IF it’s legal I don’t care if someone hunts .17 or .204 OR 378 RUM.
For myself, it’s not a matter of Power (fpe) or powder charge. I hunt a variety of
terrain/topography. I can be in a thicket OR an open pasture on any given day.
MY requirement is FLAT trajectory and that’s hard to get with SLOW bullets.
I’m 69 yo, and in the last few years I have come to the opinion that a 7 Mag (Rem or Wby)
is one of the BEST all around cartridges out there. Close OR Far the 7 is FLAT and dependable. I’ve killed WT at 12’ (feet) and out to ~400 yds with the 7s.
The 270 / 280 are not far behind but NOT the equal of a 7.
Over my WT hunting career I’ve killed WT with 243, 6 mm, 6.5x55, 270, 7 RM,
30-30, 308, 06, 300 WM, 8 mm RM, 358 W, 35 Whelen and
44 RM, & 54 cal Mzldr. I’m familiar with trajectories of all of em.
It doesn’t take a cannon to kill WT but all rounds are NOT flat shooting.
Hunt and shoot what you like and don’t worry about what ANYONE else thinks.

Oops - forgot the 284 W.
