RE: caliber or bullet weight
 

The point where accuracy starts to give way to report - shot placement is key to harvesting game effeciently/ethically. Where that point is will different& can only be determined bythe individual. Checking the ego is requiredto assessing ability when it comes to shooting any weapon. Be it size or determining effective range. I for one haven't felt a shot in the field so I know if i can handle it in practice or off the bench it won't hinder me in the field. Practice to me is paramount to building confidence in both my equipment and ability. I won't practice if it hurts, flinching or can't hold groups.

Bullet choice is also important. Pick bullets that match the game/situation and let the rifle determine which oneto use.

Common sense....NO???
