Regarding the "on topic part"....

Yep. Almost, but not quite, as good as the 7X57mm Mauser!


================================================== =

Regarding the off topic part above regarding getting "caught up" in things....

Lets get caught up in field position shooting skill (not benchrest/blindrest) AND cartridge selection for the job at hand, tempered by how many shots ata greatanimal you are willing to pass on because of rifle limitations (in real life, not internet chat) AND acknowledge what your accuracy deviation factoris (in reallife, not internet chat)on shots taken from field position shooting (not benchrest/blindrest).

What do your ocassional "outlier" shots look like? How often to they happen? How far off are they? Field positions now, do you ALWAYS know when the shot you are about to take is going to be perfect? If not, then what compensating elements do you use to buy yourself (and your quarry) some insurance?This is anot-so-simplistic world.

Of course you have to hit what you are shooting at! That is the elementary starting point for any hunting. No rocket science there, it is a given. The discussion moves forward (or not) from there.

Consider working with the "whole picture" rather than just focusing on a singleaspect whileignoring the balance.
