Good posting todd, people should take your advice. I myself have been lucky to have never caught the Magnumatitis. I dont get to hunt anything bigger than whiteails and have used a .243 since day one, thats was about 25 years ago and I can honestly say I have never lost a deer to it. Sometimes I think its too big. I've taken some deer through the boiler room and still have both shoulder totally bruised and engulfed in coagulated blood. Little by little my friends are recovering from this awfull disease, LOL. I'm glad to see some of you recovering as well (smile)
But this is america and you know how we are, we love excess so to each his own.
