I use a .300 weatherby mag every year and have never done that.

Looks to me like he made a very low shot and blew the bottom of thebrisket out instead of center punching the lungs which allowed every thing to just slide out of the body cavity.
+1, a bad, even iflucky shot.
If he had a 243 he probably wouldn't have flinched and hit where he wanted to:eek:.
X2!!!!!
People should shoot something that they can handle! Bigger is not always better! Bigger is not always deader! A well placed 100 gr. .243 would have done the job! Recoil and noise are not what does the job!

You don't know if the guy flinched or not. You are just assuming he did. I have seen flinching and bad shots with a 243.

No such things as overkill.

I used to say the same thing! But when you get cured of "Magnumitis" and you realize that a .243 or 25-06 can do the same thing, you will understand that YES, there is such a thing as overkill!
To each, their own! As long as it's legal!

I agree that bad shots can be made with any caliber, and I will also go along with the "no such thing as overkill" statement.

BUT, JagMag's point about using a gun/caliber that you can handle is also very valid. I have personally gone through my own bout of magnumitis and have realized that I can shoot more and actually enjoy it more by using a 6.5x55 or 308 rather than getting my teeth rattled using a 300 WM or 375 H&H.

From my personal experience, I make better, more calculated shots when I shoot my 6.5x55 than I ever did slinging lead out of my 300 WM. I am also able to watch bullet impact through my scope rather than have to reacquire my target after recovering from the recoil.
