The longer I hunt the more I'm convinced that many hunters are convinced the harder a rifle kicks them, the "better" it kills.
You are so right about that. I'm convinced that if more hunters actually learned the anatomy of the species they were hunting and practiced to be more proficient with their hunting rigs, they'd find there's minimal need for those gigantic cases that burn a pound of powder and inevitably cause many to develop accuracy-robbing flinches. Understanding what different bullets do at various impact speeds -- and then matching the cartridge/bullet combo to the game being hunted -- would be helpful as well.
