hello all, sorry about this rant ahead of time.
why is it that if a person poses a hypothetical situation, whereby they are looking to hunt game animals and looking for advice on caliber/bullet options/reloading data, ETC, is there always a double standard?
I have seen it multiple times where a person asks a question about deer hunting and the overwhelming majority vote is that it doesn't matter what you load up, the deer will end up dead no matter how large as long as the bullet goes where it's supposed to and the shooter sticks to the range requirements of the cartridge. however if the OP asks about grazing the lower end of a larger weight game class, even specifying small specimens, automatically his cartridge is completely inadequate and should not be used.
I am completely beside myself on this. so a cartridge that can kill any deer in north america(about 250 pounds roughly) with any hunting bullet, even when loaded with the best ammo available is incapable of killing a 350 pound cow elk? where does this come from?
