RE: over analyzing caliber
Great post!!! I am so sick of seeing new threads pop up daily that say......."which is better .270 or 30-06"?? OMG I am to the point I dont even open them anymore. I mean come on, are people trying to bump their post count up or what, these topics have been debated on this board to the point where It makes me sick[:'(]. Everyone has their own opinion about caliber selection, and you know what, use what you want to use!!! Just dont clog up this forum anymore with these stupid comparison threads anymore. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE??????

RE: over analyzing caliber
hahaha hey lets just post one more " which is better 270 or 30-06 " for old time sake and just be done with it. seems like every week theres a new post with the same old question. the rag will be tossed back and forth of opinions and the out come is always the same 30 posts say a 270 is better the other 30 says a 30-06 is better and the 3 or 4 posts of people saying neither and the 1 or 2 posts who like both and the post never proves itself true one way or the other.

RE: over analyzing caliber
ORIGINAL: James B Broey 1. You are absoluley right. I have an Uncle who worked as a professional hunter for forty years. He killed every African and North American species of game with one rifle. A 30-06 Model 70 Winchester. From fox to elephant. He owned bigger rifles but had 100 percent faith in that 30-06 and never changed anything but the bullet weight. He was however the best rifle shooter that I ever knew. I have a 6.5x55 Mauser that I would not hesitate a minute to use for all North American Big game. I shoot it well and with the 140 grain Hornady SP I have never had an animal get beyond a few yards. There are far more inferior shooters than there are inferior calibers. |
RE: over analyzing caliber
So, while I enjoy the magnum vs. standard debate, the 30-06 vs. the 270 debate, etc. Let's be honest that pretty much any caliber you choose, practice with, and can shoot well will do the job. Finally someone that made a post that everyone should be able to understand. I would rather use magnums than standard calibers but I am very fond of 2 standard calibers though. The .220 Swift and .308 winchester. The animals wont know any difference in what killed them so why b*tch about smaller calibers being useless? |
