I wonder if a guide would rather you have a 25-06 with a TSX in it that you shoot very well, with no flenching, or yiou be in camp with a 300 win mag that scares the bejesus out of you?
Why is it that people who advocate smaller cartridges always make the assumption that people are so scared of bigger calibers that they can�t shoot them well? Or even well enough?
I suspect most guides would prefer a customer show up at elk camp with a rifle they shoot well, and would be happier if that rifle is a .270 or 7mm or .308 or .30-06 or .338-06 or .358 or 35 Whelen or a number of other cartridges than a .25.
My point has never been that a .25 won�t work, just that there are better choices.
