RE: Inferior Rounds
well i just read this whole thread and all i have to say is that this kid's giving teens like me a bad name. by no means should a 17 year old tell people how it "is" when he/ she has little or no experience. i don't understand. sure a person is entitled to his/her own opinions but that doesn't give that person the right to criticize people who don't have the same thoughts on a subject.

this kid had good ideas. im gonna sell al my guns and hunt exclusively with magnums and a 20 ga. and im going to start trimming my toenails with a 3500 rpm dremel tool. same principal right? so im thinking 270 wsm for squirels and birds and the 300 wsm for coyotes and varmints and we'll save the mighty 20 ga for geese, deer and turkeys

I used my dremel once to remove my corns, worked great I couldnt believe my resourcefullnes. Until the next day I realized my entire foot felt like it has a blister on it where I was grinding away at them.

i would like to disagree with this, 16 gauge is a unique gauge, so what if its in the middle. my dad gets ammo super cheap for it. also the .410 is just a cool gun to have. good for shooting squirrels and great for youths.

I do not see enough gain in "horsepower" in the WSM & WSSM rounds to justy buying one. I have been shooting a 270-Winchester for many years. The 270-WSM IMHO does not have enough of a gain to justify the change.
However IMHO the 270-Weatherby is enough of a step up to justify the change.

Just because some of those short magnum rounds show an improvement on paper does not mean that we need to justify the costs associated with changing over to them. The deer have not gotten any harder to kill and the bullets have only improved the effectiveness of the older rounds. If you think that the 410, 28 gauge and 10 gauge should be extinct and have no usefulness then you obviously haven't used one yourself.
