I didn't get the bit in his post where he said he was an expert. I do see your point that modern hunting projectiles inflict a greater amount of damage than FMJs. Even with that I'd still ellect to be shot by a 7mm08 to the vitals than a 22-250. A well placed 22-250 will do the job, but a 7mm08 or such will do a better job quicker
every time.
I think there are a lot of new hunters who do read these posts so I think we need to set an example for those newbies. We should be showing them how to do it the right way first up. If they want to go do something else later then so be it, but a 7mm08 and such is a better deer calibre than a 22-250 under varying circumstances.
