I guess I missed the printed facts about the nunber of slob hunters who use non Magnums. The Margin of error theory never flew with me and never will, You can gut or leg shoot a critter with any caliber and I would venture to say its done as much with Magnums as with 243's. I would never go after a Grizzley with my 250 Savage but have and would again with the 30-06 and 200 grain Partitions or the 45-70 with 475 grain loads.

Nobody with or without a Magnum rifles does the old perfect shot every time but a good hit with any rifle with enough power to get the vitals will do the job. 270 or 300 Win Mag. Makes no difference. I have hit enough critters with both calibers to know this for a fact.
