Homers Brother,
I denigrate nothing as in the hands of a "skilled" marksman the 243 is deadly! Heck, for that matter native hunters in bush Alaska use the .17 Rem to hunt brown bear; less damage to the pelt. And to make your point, the 30-30 has accounted for thousands of elk and caribou, so Google7 would need no other rifle. However, I also believe you, like these native hunters, are more the exception than the rule!
