pwillie,
Well now, I think that was a might uncalled for. I wrote nothing about being some sort of "purist." I did point out that your question regarding two calibers on DEER was like asking which sledgehammer was better for driving a tack. The deer is the part of the equation that really isn't going to find one bit of difference being on the receiving end of either round, even with neck shots. Seriously, dead is dead, and both rounds are more than capable of turning the binary state of a deer from "alive" to "dead."
Maybe another analogy might help....
Some folks like Corvettes, and some folks like Vipers, but if someone asked me which one was the better grocery getter I'm going to recommend the Corvette because you can buy one for less money than a Viper. But some folks just love speed and horsepower, and want the most powerful and fastest grocery getter they can. More power to them, I'd love to have a Corvette in my garage too, but I wouldn't buy one for a grocery getter (I just can't justify the cost to myself, I'm cheap).
Analogies aside, you asked. I gave you an honest answer, the 300 Wby, and if you got a little hurt about that well, I can't really say "I'm sorry" since I haven't done anything to be sorry for.
