nice post JJ, personally i like heavy bullets at maderate velocity. the 338-06 is about my ideal cartridge. i like my 8x57, 30-06 and 45-70. i want to put together a 416 taylor so i can cheaply lob 400 grain bullets at 2200fps. but i am not a long range shooter. i have more fun sneaking up on critters than shooting them. a nice 180gr plus bullet somewhere between 1800 and 3000 fps suits me just fine depending on what cartridge im using. simple, high sectional density bullets do great things when not driven to hyper velocity. if im not mistaken this logic has been around for alot more years than ive been on this earth. so personally ill sneak a lil closer or be content i passed up the shot.
my wife is a lil different though, she shoots cartidges like 250 Sav, 260 Remmy, 6.5x55 and 7x57 but i have alot more padding on my shoulder than she does and would rather have a light kicking rifle than anything.
