Every time someone tells me .300WM is the minimum for something, I think of this expert shooting the minimum acceptable cartridge for use, on a hunt where I'm sure her shot placement was definitely the best it could have been, because she didn't flinch severely right as she was pulling the trigger in anticipation of her ass getting absolutely kicked.
