RE: Small bores for big game
Not again!!!!!
.22' s of any kind, are not deer calibers, and should be illeagal everywhere!
Anyone who cannot handle a .243' s recoil, shouldn' t be playing with guns anyway!
As for head and neck shots, no they' re not against the law, just plain unethical!
You' d lose less meat with a heart/lung shot than with a neck shot, plus you have about 500% more room for error!
Again, you get no extra points for smallest caliber, or for shooting out the eyeballs without disturbing the eyelashes!!!
You want a challenge with your small calibers, shoot prarrie dogs at several hundred yards, or try for .25 groups on paper, but when you go deer hunting, use a deer rifle!
We owe the deer this much respect at least!
