WV_gunner,since you asked
Who got you all jumbled up?
The sarcastic posts about the calibers the OP asked about.
The OP obviously wants opinions,
Right, opinions, not sarcasm.
OP ask about 2 calibers,for a certain type of hunt.Which one would perform better?
He did not ask,if you thought they were overkill.
OP said deer hunting,maybe OP is including elk ,it is a deer you know.
taylorce1 and AllenJ I thought gave proper responses.
jmr40,showed his disgust for the 2,but did not use sarcasm.
But others, especially the three in a row,IMO,were nothing more than just sarcasm.
So I decided to do a little sarcasm of my own,but not at the OP.
Fight fire with fire sort of speak.
In short,it just baffles me that these posters, with their perfect ethical distances and their perfect ethical calibers, can,t use some ethics when it comes to posting an opinion.
If I was the OP and I got answer like that,I would probably be looking for another forum.
I think a .243 does a bit of an excessive amount of damage.
That would kinda make the 30-06 or the 308 overkill then
Just kidding.
