One of the most annoying statements I hear is "That's overkill", that has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, there is no such thing as overkill, only moronic people who don't know anything about ballistics.
I suppose you huntdeer with a 50 bmgor 700 nitro expresss?
Why don't you explain balistics to us morons? JA
Hey spencer, DEAD is DEAD, and calling me a JA only makes you less credible, I can see you don't hunt with any guns over .40 Cal. There is no such thing as overkill, to call a cartridge like the 45-70 overkill simply because it has a "big ole' bullet" is ridiculous, the 45-70 is not a very powerful cartridge when compared to most magnums, the .338 Win Mag makes the 45-70 look like deer crap, yet you don't hear anyone calling the .338 Win Mag, "overkill" or "elephant gun", why?, because it doesn't have that "big ole' bullet" that the weaker 45-70 does. I love the 45-70, great cartridge, will take any game in NA, but it is not ridiculous to use it on deer sized game with the proper bullet. Overkill is a statement that somebody uses when the gun is .40+ caliber, and yeah I would use a 50 BMG or 700 Nitro on deer if i HAD THE CHANCE, WHY?, becauseI could. Overkill is a term used when a lack of knowledge is present.
