Seems to me over the last 10 years or so it been the trend. Guys hunting deer with 223's, elk with 243's ect. What's your opinion are we using lighter calibers than in the past to hunt North American game with?
I don't know if we should judge the rest of the world by the preferences posted here on the campfire...
That's what I was getting at in my earlier post. Go to any hunting camp in my locale and you won't see many smaller cartridges. It's been that way for 30 years...
You'll see 7mags, 300 mags, 338's and 30-06's. The 270 is about the smallest thing you'll see and those guys get jazzed about it being marginal for whitetail deer.
Those guys don't shoot much, if any, during the year either. They fling a few at a paper plate a couple of days before season and call it good.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
