Why shoot a sissy rifle?

Yes it's been entertaining.
Everyone needs a little laughter in life.
From my opening post I hope everyone realizes that this is definitely not a serious thread and at times 🙄 I love to joke around even if I am the one who makes fun of myself.
My seven decades on the planet have taught me many things. Two of the most important things , IMO, to achieve is 1. The ability to know what to pay attention to and what to filter out and 2. To arrive at a point at which one is secure enough in one's own skin to be able to make fun of one's own self and one's personal foibles.
 
Note the dents above of the lesser calibers from days gone by. 270win
30-06 and 7mmRem Mag. The 7mag almost made it. It's the one with the tiny hole. I shudder to think what the 7 PRC would have done! The turret would likely be gone. Unless you had a "clicker" in the chamber.
 
I hunted almost exclusively this year with the 6.5 Manbun and Crossbow. I'm thinking that to regain my manhood, I am going to have to hunt next season with my old 338 Win Mag. It meets my rule of Extreme Overkill for Whitetail. "Always use 5 times what you think you need, just in case the critter is 3 times as tough as you think."
 
Tagging back in. Creedmoor has simply been too large to fit the cz527 action that I have grown to like as a light walk around carry rifle. 6.5 Grendel has been as large as I have tried in that little Mauser action, Though I have come to believe the 6mm Arc is a perfect fit in this application. YMMV

When a cannon is what you need, then nothing less will do. How often do we need a cannon? Thus far in my personal experience, the need for a cannon has been near, nonexistent.
