I find it hard to recommend a PB to anyone. I have no idea how they hunt, and a PB will fail if some things are done wrong. So, I play it safe, and steer new guys away from them.

I also don't recommend anybody hunt elk with a 30-30 either. I know it works from experience, but I don't know how someone else will hunt with it.

That doesn't mean that the PB and 30-30 won't work. I just don't recommend them.

You went to all that trouble to look up those posts? You could have just asked me.
