I have to agree with the irate person you talked to to some extent. But it is nothing to get worked up that much about.

I guess there is never too much gun as far as the actuall killing of the animal goes cause dead is dead but there can be too much gun than a person can handle accurately. No sence in sending a small framed woman or young person out there to hunt wihtetails with a 338 magnum when a lite recoiling 260 or 243 will kill deer every bit as effectively.

However, a person can most definetly use way more gun than is needed like the 338-378 for hogs. A person hunting anything on this continent will never need such a gun for anything but I am not going to be the one to tell a person that he's wrong for using it. Hey, it's your gun, ears, shoulder, and money. Shoot what ever makes you happy. The person shoting the gun just needs to be sure he or she can shoot it accurately.
