[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1526032, member: 12995"] I've been shooting magnums for over half my life. I still own a bunch of them, and have been hunting deer with a 7mm RemMag for going on 17 years. I have some big mags, too, such as several 7mm STW's pushing 180-195gr bullets, and a .300 Ackley with 210-215gr bullets, that all shoot ragged-hole groups, just as well. I'm just as comfortable behind the magnums as I am my .22LR and .17 HMR, and everything else in the safe leading up to the big boomers. Precision shooting, or making good shots on game has nothing to do with what type or size of cartridge your shooting, so don't try to justify your comment with that. Don't you think you owe it to the animals you harvest to give them as quick and painless a death as possible? If so, then that takes precision shot placement, and has no bearing on what size cartridge or caliber of bullet you're using to kill it. [/QUOTE]
