Why magnums for the LOWER 48, when even in AK Fish & Game say 30-06 enough?

> why Magnums

Americans like BIG booms.

Back in the '50s Phil Sharpe was at Winchester and they showed him their new .458 Winchester Magnum cartridge.

Sharpe: "What would anyone use that for?"

Win CEO: "I don't know, but we'll sell a lot of them."

he he, that's true.

big booms, big cars, big houses, big meals, big girls.

Everything's got to be big here.

Especially in Texas ... where folks eat magnums for breakfast.

When you really need a magnum....

If you find yourself invited or expected to a sizable family holiday dinner; you've been told to bring nothing but your appetite, because there is plenty; you don't want to show up completely empty-handed, so you bring a Magnum of Champagne.
