I have read this whole thread and agree that the difference between the two could be negated by a fast barrel or daily temperatures or a variety of things. Being Valentines day I just went in to my gun room and hugged my 300WSM Kimber Montana.

I like her short fat little cartridge body. I thanked her for her faithfulness in Newfoundland driving snow and rain, and NY sunny days in the stand together. She has only strayed once from her intended purposes of whitetail and moose when I tempted her to make a Starling disappear that landed on the 200yd target. She speaks and Moose and Whitetail fall in her presence.

She cuddled familiarly in my arms against my shoulder as I repeated the words "till death us shall part." There are prettier, sexier, taller, hotter, stronger, but she just continues to put meals on my table.

I really don't care if her sister may, in the eyes of others, be a little more desirable because, selfishly, I really like what she does for me... Thank God Love is Blind.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
