I see by the number of posts you guys have, that you spend a lot of time punching keyboards. Do any of you actually Hunt ?

Probably about the same amount of time hunting as you do reading?

You shot 30 elk with a Creedmoor?
What were the results? I don't have a Creedmoor but I have a cple of 6.5 Swedes but never shot an Elk with one. They do a great job on some smaller Game, but lack on others. I morphed from an '06 fan into a mid-bore junky for Elk and larger. So, in other words, you have no first hand information, just biases you’ve never actually tested. My suggestion is take one of your Swedes and use it on elk for the next 20 years... you might be surprised what it’s capable of.

Go back to your Video Games boys.

It can't be, because LR would post a photo of a recovered TSX. But the attitude is similar.

I have no idea who Larry Root is, or what his attitude may be but I'll bet he wasn't as touchy as any of you guys.
Sorry to intrude on your private turf.

I’ll be 57 in a couple months and have actually never played a video game. However, I’m fairly certain when I meet someone with untested biases and a closed mind...

Untested biases ? Don't be jumping to conclusions. You guys are all pretty good at that. Try and get out more.

Comparatively speaking, you may be right. However, I simply expressed an opinion that didn't agree with your's and you ended up with the skull cramps.. Not me..

Would love an English speaker to interpret this for me... obviously I need to get out more.

I was referring to your previous post a couple above .. prior to your edit. You need a bit more than an English interpreter I'm thinkin'. Reading comprehension might be a good start.

BushCaddy,
So you're saying you KNOW the 6.5 Creedmoor is too small for elk?--

Lead cow shoulder socket crushed... Always use enough gun. And that there is why I try to avoid shoulder shots, with any round/bullet...what a mess. That nasty, gritty bone marrow is embedded in that meat a lot further than it looks. BTDT.
