[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2933753, member: 109862"] That’s hardly the same thing as preaching that “the only way to kill an elk is with a .375”. And I happen to agree with the overall philosophy of using a cartridge about as stout as you can shoot well (being honest with yourself about where that line is). I don’t know that I would do my best shooting with a .375 ai. Wouldn’t be for me probably, that’s fine. But I can shoot my .300 win every bit as well as my .270, therefore it’s the .300 that gets the nod for critters bigger than deer. I think that’s all he’s saying, bring enough gun and use something on the upper end of what’s within your capability, but it’s entirely possible I’m wrong (it’s happened more times than I care to admit 🥴).
