In my experience the people who crow the most about "too much gun" or "overkill" are the people who have never used such cartidges!
There are so many wonderful cartridges out there, that life would be very boring if we limited ourselves to a .22 and 30-06, variety is the spice of life!
I find the medium-big bore rifles to be flat out fun to own and shoot, those big heavy bullets put animals down RIGHT NOW.
The only person whose opinion matters when purchasing a rifle is your own.
