Now, Now, Isnipe. You’re on an internet forum. Talking Big accomplishes nothing. There are those of us here with doctorates, those of us with black belts, and those of us with both. But on an internet forum where text rules, it doesn't really matter now does it. No sense in arguing over this. I agree with you that it’s overkill, but I’ve also seen dozens of whitetails taken with it. Shot placement is what matters, and ANY center fire rifle will kill whitetail if placement is good.
