and the Native Americans in Canada shoot wolves and polar bears with a .223 also, but that doesn't mean it's a better cartridge than a 30-06 or 300magnum for the job. for someone to claim otherwise shows they are off their meds. Thousands of deer have been killed with a 22LR, but does anyone think that is better than a centerfire for killing of deer?
AMEN BROTHER
OK, Eskimo's have used 22 LR and 22 Hornet and 223 rifles on polar bears, but ..... how many Eskimos have used them repeatedly successfully and kept their life insurance policies intact? An eaten Eskimo rarely leaves a hunting report.
