there is a saying, that goes like this
JUST CAUSE YOU CAN< DOESN"T MEAN YOU SHOULD
and this would apply IMO of using any large caliber center fire caliber on small game
its just not needed NOR honestly all that safe IMO, nor cost effective either!
can it be done, sure, should it be done, IMO, NO
but IMO, its not that smart to be using large caliber rifles son small animals, not just over kill, but again, falling back to safety issue's
promoting it, doesn;t help those that know little about BOTH guns and or safety
I'm sure we all did dumb things, but that doesn;t make them right either!
and sorry if this offends anyone
