Hey Zeak I got to agree with you, I own several magnum guns but they sit in the safe and don't get used. I hunt with a 7mm-08 for all my deer and hog hunting, sometimes a 30-30 also. I don't see the need for all these new cartridges on the market other that to generate new sales. I also think that some of these guys buying the latest and greatest rounds are going to regret it in a few years, cause some of them won't be around in a few years. There have to many magnum calibers released in the last half dozen years, they won't all stand the test of time.
