"I think it was Mike Irwin on here who used to have in his signature line years ago something like "the internet has given unprecedented voice to the un-informed"."
Not sure that was me. It might have been Tamara. I could have had something of a variation on that, though.
But, unimportant, as the sentiment is true.
Regarding hunting cartridges, I've not hunted in years, and I doubt that I ever will again.
I've always been an advocate of .30 caliber, primarily because, as a handloader, the bullet selection is monumental.
I started out hunting with a .30-06, and later switched to my dream rifle, a Savage Model 99 in .300 Savage.
I also had a 6.5x50 Japanese Arisaka, and always thought I'd love to put the cartridge into a decent rifle so that I could really test its capabilities. I think it would be an incredible East coast hunting cartridge.
