I agree. With the improved powders and bullets today magnums should be less relevant than they were 25 years ago, yet when you listen to someposts you would think magnums are the only responsible way to hunt.

I do like the idea of the new low recoil loads by Federal and Remington for new shootersso you can avoid buying a second gun later. It is a limited selection of ammo choices, but in my mindyou can justify a 300 Win Mag for a 14 year oldif itwill kick less than a 308 like the Manage Recoil loads do. I think the low recoil ammo is going to become more poular as time goes on.
