I've been here a long time, something like 6 years now, reading more than speaking for the most part, but I always bite on those " what cal for ???" or " is a ??? good for ????" posts, and I've kinda noticed something I find contradictory.

Might not make sense in this board, I just want deer hunters opinions on this too, since it's relating deer hunters and big game hunters.

Whenever someone asks about a .243 for deer, it's like you have to put it in a dime at 50yrds or it's not going to take them down, since it's too under powered. But then when someone asks about using a big bore such as a .375 H&H for big bruins, browns or moose, guys act like it's so over powered, that a guy just needs to take a .30-06 and make sure you get a great shot. Basically, they're saying the .243 is to deer what a .30-06 is to bear, but it's necessary to over power on deer, but out of the question on big game, like even though a .243 will do it, you NEED a .30-06, but even though a .375 H&H will do it really well, you should limit yourself to a marginal round?? What's up with that??

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
