magnums do not make up for poor shooting/shot placement!
I can not agree with that one.
....and then....

I am not advocating that a poor shot would hunt with a magnum to make up for the inability to shoot. But I am definitely saying the magnum will do considerably more damage. Tom.
So.....
MagnumsDON'T make up for poor shooting/shot placement, which you can not agree with.
Would you then agree that magnums DO make up for poor shooting/shot placement? That seems to beyour logic here.
But......
You don't advocate a magnum for someone who can't shoot.
Now I'm confused.
And a deer gut-shot with a magnum dies right there, eh? (sorry, didn't quote you, you'll have to read back to your post). I don't know whose world you live in, but there's no guarantee of that, either. A poor shot is a poor shot, whether in how its presented to the shooter or in how the shootercontributes toit. As the shooter, you have a choice whether to take the shot or not.
I burned up nearly1300 rounds ofvarious caliber centerfire rifle ammunition this summer, but since I might use a "pea shooter", I'm not a "SHOOTER"? Yeah,you have a point there, I guess. Aside from a few other things, "Magnum-itis"sometimes brings with it a certain arrogance toward anyone who doesn'tbow to"the great god, magnum". But that's just MY opinion.
