I hunt in the woods of Upstate NY, I see alot more 50 yard shots than 150yarders. GIVE ME THE RIFLE ANYDAY. I'll take accuracy and velocity over bullet mass anyday of the week. Ilike having accuracy to a level where I can thread bullets between branches, and be confident in my shots. Likewise,in my experinece a 130gr .270 kill a lot quicker than a 400GR Platinum Tip from a 12ga. You can debate thatwith me till you are blue in the face, but I've shot deer literally 5times with slugs before they break down. Neverhad that happen with a high velocity rifle.Never.
