I was respectful to the originator of this thread, more than it deserved. In contrast, your insult toward me was anything but.
It's a ridiculous statement to talk about "hypothetically" doing something to a living breathing animal that’s unethical. It doesn't make sense to me nor 98% of the people here I'd bet to talk about shooting big games with a varmint round. Theother 2% don't need to have someone giving them stupid ideas to “try”.
Then you turn around and contradict your own assertion that "nobody is going to do this".... with "if they do, I hope that get stomped by a moose."
So, pull that big tree trunk out of your own eye bud before you try to tell me about the splinter you think might be in mine!
You end up flaming the originator of the thread when he explicitly said, that he wasn't going to and has no intention of hunting moose with a .223, and that he doesn't recommend that anyone do it, he just wants to know if a .223 can go through a moose's shoulder bone, since he heard it went through some certain car part. It's like asking, "Can a .22 lr kill a deer with a head shot? I'm just asking, I won't and have no intention of hunting deer with a .22."
You apparently, are the only one who hasn't gotten the message and the point of this thread, it's nothing like the ".243 on elk" thread that was on here several months ago, and it's plain and obvious, written in plain American English, that he isn't and never will, hunt or suggest someone hunt with a .223.
If you honestly think any person is going to go out and hunt moose with a .223 when here there are listed all the reasons not to, you've clearlyunderestimated the human instincts for self-preservation.
I have good reason to believe you didn't read his post, and if you don't like the responsible thread, which can actually educate people as to the power of firearms, then don't post crap here.
I don't know what kind of a case you have with saying that I "contradicted myself", where was that?
If people are stupid enough to hunt moose with a .223 after viewing this thread, which I believe they aren't, they do deserve to be stomped by a moose, since they mightdo many more dumb things.
