[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1535692, member: 97414"] Yes, and lots of critters big and small have fallen to every caliber ever made. The now 5th or 7th world record Grizzly Bear was taken with a 22 caliber old fashion rimfire long at point blank range. Yes, it can sometimes work out, the 3rd or 4th largest Moose was taken with a British 303 at 35 yards. There are 100's of thousands of firsts for every caliber. The old school 30/06 has harvested more large game then all 200 cartridges combined because it has been around the longest of all firearms ever made on the planet. It doesn't really matter what caliber, cartridge, case, powder, primer, optic or rifle it is... All bullets shot to range need a shooter to get it there. 5 to 10% dialed in firearm to 90 or 95% shooter,,, let's not forget that it takes 100% of human to get onto the critters,,, then the crap shoot of 50/50 if it's going to pan out. Always more wrong then right since none of us know how things will play out until the trigger is pulled. It might be the best shot in the world,,, the critter its self will be the deciding factor at that point in time. Ha My biggest challange is finding one close enough to plug. LOL [/QUOTE]
