Well the rudeness is escalating.
Most of the chat is largely useless to most any hunter/ shooter.
From my standpoint, as a 5 decade long hunter, I started with the .270 wcf, tried or seen most everything out there in the Western hunting conditions.
It is better than ever, and as things evolve more,
and components improve and this will continue.
I am convinced that due to these improvements, Western hunters no longer need the bigger chamberings to hunt the same Game we did 40 years ago.
I don't shoot longer ranges, I do want more initial horsepower than the Creedmoor provides. But have killed Bull Elk with a .243 and 25/06.
I usually shoot at home, but when I go to our range
I see the full gamet of shooters, tactical stuff, long range stuff and I seldom see any of those reliably hit the paper, offhand at 100 yards.
Shooting offhand is the litmus test, ( and next the other positions) imo....no matter what you use.
