I’ve only hunted with .338WM, 7mm mag, & 7mm-08

Never felt undergunned, they all shoot decent.

I’ve not killed as much game as some AK posters as I spent best part of a decade in the company of some fine outdoorsmen watching them kill game.

Saw a wide variety of calibers used & a wide variety of proficiency in marksmen, my seasons were 4 seasons long as in the field on average 40 days.

My conclusion from this experience?


Shot placement, shot placement, shot placement. Use enough gun, use a great bullet.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
