An Indian girl killed a very large grizzly with a 22 long rimfire. That don't make the 22 RF a grizzly gun. No butthat does make her a better hunter than you. and proves it dont take much to kill An elk killed at 500 yards does not make the 243 an elk gun Then what does, killing a rhino at 500yds. Will that gun then be adequate for elk. and such shots are irresponsable as hell. Only if the one making it has not practiced at those distances.Your idea that velocity is the only thing you need to make a clean kill is disproven BUNK. It is at 500 yds, a 45-70 is not a long range gun, a .243 is, It was designed for antelope at extreme ranges, so was the 25-06, and eventually the 6mm rem. Go ahead and live in your bubble, I have no more to say on this subject.[:'(] The voices in my head dont like you.
