Every man is entitled to his opinion. I currently own a 35 remington, 35 Whelsn, 358 winchester, 9x 56 MS and a 9.3x62so I consider myself a mid bore aficionado and as such I love them all and use them all. My favorite I must admit is the Mannlicher Schoenauer mostly due to the 1905 rifle that houses it. They all kill with alacrity and leave short copious blood trails.
