I'm a big fan of the magnums. I've spent weeks upon weeks worth of range time and thousands of rounds over the last 15 yrs becoming proficient with them, and their killing power is obvious whenever I have occasion to pull the trigger on something other than a sheet of paper (not very often lol, much better/more dedicated shooter than hunter). But they have their place, and the gun rack of the once a year just to check sight in shooter is generally not it. But to discount them solely on the fact they sport a belt or burn more than 55 or 60 grains of powder is non-sense. Assuming proficient shooters, I think this, like about 98% of everything in this world, comes down to good old fashioned personal choice.

Range...whats that rig your sporting there? Looks very clean.
