[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2917931, member: 126670"] Most people like them, a few don't . Some people could win $100,000,000 lottery, and would be so happy...a few would complain that it was not $500,000,000. Some people need to practice shooting a lot more accurately, instead of blaming the ammunition. Some should buy a larger rifle, for long shots, at bigger game like elk. And apparently some people disapprove of the 6.5 Creedmoor, but no reason was given. Now maybe everyone can just be happy, shoot what they like, not slam others for their choices, and practice practice practice. Me, well I am not planning to hunt alone, and the people who I go with have more experience, and some more firepower. So if I don't put my target down within 3 seconds, they can back me up with a shot. With exactly 1 kill under my belt, and the shot made with a sites only 30-30 while sitting on my horse, I wasn't sure how it was going to go. The deer was facing me, so i took a head shot between his eyes. It was comforting to know that 10 feet away was a guy with a 338 who is an amazing shot, who had it if the deer didn't drop. But he never had to fire, the deer stood for a second, and was down. In that second it took a half stumbling step, not even a real step, using relatively cheap Federal ammo. Lesson for me, be confident, and never fear a head shot. [/QUOTE]
