What's always interesting to me about these threads is nobody ever posts an instance where they shot at something with, say, a .300 Winchester Magnum and the animal ran off wounded because it wasn't shot at with a .300 Weatherby.

Or the shooter decides not to take the shot because he was only packing his .300 Winchester instead of his .300 Weatherby.

Or the elk laughs at him as it runs off over the mountain, hollering, "If you'd just been carrying a .300 Weatherby instead of the wimpy Winnie I'd be headed for your freezer and taxidermist!"
