Had you just given yours, what you say here would be true. What you did, in fact was give your opinion and then ramble off about how the OP should was asking too much of one caliber (he didn't ask about that) and then attempt to color things with your version of ethics (he didn't ask for that, either). Here's a newsflash for you, not only is the .243 legal in most states, some also allow .223 (or even the .22 Hornet) for big game. Regardless of my opinion regarding that, it's not my place to introduce it to a discussion where the participants might live in a state where it's allowed and where they make it work.

I thought the first part of your original response made sense. It was the rest of it that was unnecessary, unsolicited, unqualified and which I disagreed with. Unfortunately, that kind of content is all too common here. One poster can't resist that little jab at another poster telling him that the rifle he's so proud of or is considering buying is a piece of junk, the caliber he picked is "unethical," ... Some comments simply are not helpful or relevant.
