Todd you paint ALOT of people with a very broad brush. So it's your opinion that unless I live in grizz country, my Warbird is un-necessary.
Did you skip over the part where I said, "There are always exceptions to everything. If these comments don't describe you or your hunting situationthen that's great. You have no reason to be pissed at me." If you hunt where you can see 600 yards in every direction and can pick lint off a gnats ass at those distances withyour warbird thenthat's great. But for the vast, vastmajority ofpeople a 270,308 or30-06 will kill well beyond the range that they have any business attempting a shot anyway.
Well I happen to think that your comments about there being very few places in AL to shoot deer a long way off is blatantly wrong.
Out west it may be a different story but if you are having to consistently take shots over 300 yards in Alabama then you need to move your stand to a better location cause you are definately set up in the wrong spot.
As for Todds Assertion about driving bullets past their failure velocity, that's evidence of his oldschool mindset.
No that's evidence of the fact that the locals are shooting cor-lokts, power points Hornady SST's, and ballistic tips into deer at 3000 plus fps and ending up withbullets that occasionally blow up on shoulders and deer that look like they were hit by a car when you pull the hide off of them.
