All i can tell you all is, i've hunted much of Canada, all of Alaska plus several of the lower 48 states. I've probably harvested more big game than many of you combined and i'm talking several brown bear, and moose on down.... I just don't need a big magnum to do it.... peroid!

I believe in stalking the animial to get close enough so i'm NOT shooting into the next county, and i also believe in picking the proper weight and construction of bullet for the intended job... I believe you just don't need a big magnum if you do that... At least i haven't!

I've dropped moose with my S&W 44 mag....sowhy wouldn't i beable to do the same thing with a properly loaded 30-06???

James is right, most folks just don't need a magnum, but of course if you want one, and can shoot one, go for it!
