RE: REFERENCE.... 270's & Elk, 270's & Elk.... I Think I'm Gonna Puke!
Manboy, let me ask you this. Do you have a limit for anything you hunt? What about deer, what is your minimum requirement? What about large waterfowl like geese? It would be interesting to hear where you hunt and what you hunt, and what you use to hunt those animals with. I am sure that you have some limit somewhere, that is not specifically stated in the hunting regulations.
For example, here in Nevada, you can use a .22 centerfire for big game. Does that mean I would. No, I personally wouldn't want to use anything lest than a .25 caliber for deer. What about large geese or swan. We can use a 20 guage if we want, but I don't think a 20 carries enough punch for the big birds at moderate distances, so I shoot a 12 for everything.
