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
EXACTLY!
IF someone is "dropping 'em" with a gut shot, they are extremely lucky! No matter what caliber they are using!
What they are basically saying is that a magnum makes up for poor shooting! That is just not true!
Again, I'm NOT a magnum hater, I love mine!
Just try going back to a lighter caliber, it will cure your magnumitis!
