Oh don't get me twisted, I like Big Bore bad boys, I just like them big and slow. I have quite a few rifles that I have to go in search of my damn shoulder after shooting. 500NE double comes to mind. Monster to shoot, but lordy does it deliver the "hammer Of Thor" as you put it on a hog! Had a Barrett .50 for a while. Nothing slow about that thing except recovery. Sold it to an old Military friend since I just had it for plinking at 1500m One of those "Mines bigger than yours" moments ya know. Wife made me sell it. Dang wimmin

But like Mercy and I both kind of put it, not everyone has the ability to shoot out to where a .300WM performs better than an .06. Actually, few people possess that ability. They may have the WILL to do it, but that doesn't mean they SHOULD be trying it. Just seen too many gut shot or leg shot critters in my years from people thinking they had a "magic magnum" so they could reach out to 700 yards.
