We average Joes don't "think" it's something it's not. We "know" from our experience that it works for our application.

It's really quite simple. We believe in fitting the tool for the job. We don't care, or even need to know, what it does at 500, 600, or more yards.

And, yes, we all understand that if there is a need to shoot at longer distances, a better BC is important.

Moreover, if the recoil of a 25/06 is too much for you, perhaps you should take up knitting.
