The Bullet Wars Continue . . .
Ah, what's better? A small fast bullet, a large heavy bullet? Is shot placement king? What about long shots or shots at a moving target? I used to race sports cars, and winter was called "silly season" because the racing was over, and everyone just expressed opinions on everything past, present, and future. I love it !!
Me, I carry a .30 caliber rifle because:
My buddy has one, and we can share reloading efforts and expenses
It's a nice, all-around rifle that's good for any game in the lower 48.
I'm not a very good shot, so I need all the killing power I can carry.
Lots of bullet choices.
I can buy ammo anywhere. Well, usually. The past year or so has been weird, but I'm reloading anyway.
I have buddies with other calibers though, and we're still friends.
