This is funny but I came form the Orthopedic Trauma Industry. There are numerous devices that can be used to Fix a variety of Long Bone fractures, in different bones. Depending on the surgeon using the device, some worked better that others. The end came is to align and reduce the fracture so the bone would heal, as close to normal as possible. So to some degree they all work ,but endless papers and discussion as to whether to use a Plate or use an IM Rod inside the bone. How long a plate, how many holes in the plate . How long a nail, the Diameter of the nail. ect. ect. ect. So What's Better??? What's Great ?? What do the surgeons in the Trauma centers use?? So I love this thread because in the right hands , so many cartridges we think are "Not Great " , will have a following of guys who will jump up and say Hey I killed a dozen deer with that cartridge in the 50's or 60 's. So ,IMHO, there are none I hate. There are 1000 would not personally ever want , or need, but I do respect the hunter /shooter who thinks his Model 94 in 32 Win Special if the Perfect Rifle cartridge combo. Who am I to tell him his baby is ugly?? I just read an article where a well know gun writer was Hunting with a customized rifle in .303. Why????? He must have 5 rifles each in 270 Win 280, 308 and 30 06, 7 mag and 300 Win mag . Why on earth would you be hunting Deer with a .303, if you didn't really have too??? The answer is, He felt like it, He likes the Round, and he enjoyed it. What's the sense of arguing better Ballistics, More Energy, Higher Bullet BC ,SD of the bullet, ect??? I learned new Quote last week Boys. It said :" Never Miss an Opportunity to Shut Up". I am trying to keep that in mind. LOL!!!!!
