It's only imaginary if not in evidence. You have been on that soap box preaching the unethical practices of those choosing to use a PRB when you have absolutely zero experience with it. I feel it is supremely high headed of you to come onto a forum that contains many people with actual real life experience with a PRB and it's actual performance on LIVE GAME, not a stack of newspapers, and try to preach the unethical practice of a time honored tradition using traditional equipment.

Is it a perfect ammo to use? Absolutely not. Show me a platform that is! You can't because no such platform exists. You put a slow twist rifle designed for PRB loaded up in the hands of someone that knows it's limitations as well as their own and hunt well within those limitations and I will show you a person that is an ethical hunter. Many of us on here hunt well within 100 yards of our quarry. Me closer than most since I primarily archery hunt with both traditional stick and string as well as high speed compounds. I can lay claim to hundreds of whitetail, elk, moose, caribou, black bear, brown bear, and literally thousands of hogs. I've tested hundreds of different ammo varieties and firearm platforms. I've been called on by many "experts" in the field as well as manufacturers for testing of various instruments for hunting. What can you show in evidence to your book reading theory of the unethical practices of hunting with a PRB? Shooting it into some dry newspaper? When you have people on here that have killed hundreds of animals with them cleanly and effectively and you come on here with no experience whatsoever talking out of your rear end about the unethical practice of using this ammo/rifle combination then noone needs to "knock you off your soapbox". You are effectively knocking yourself off of it with no need of help from us.
