This man speaks the truth, it doesn't matter if you are using a .400 Nitro Express, if you aren't confident in your shot, don't shoot. Plain and simple, not to mention I've seen the 30-30 take out Moose for cryin out loud!
@Squishysforbreakfast The idea that a smaller cartridge takes game more ethically than a larger one is appauling to me. Bottom line, shoot the largest round you can shoot straight.
@gunguy40 Any way you spin it, your still getting meat on the table. If you don't have a confident shot, don't shoot, that's the bottom line. I know people who dropped caribou with a 22 Mag, it's called skill you either have it or you don't.
@gunguy40 Yeah I do, but I still use my 30-06 when going after moose or other large game animals. It's funny you mention Elmer Keith, I was thinking of buying a .44 magnum Lever action.
I would slap the sh*t out of anyone who wanted to go hunting with me and was using a .243 to hunt elk. Nothing less then a .30 cal. 7mm Rem mag at the least
@Outdoorsforum I feel the same way. Im still iffy about buying a 30-06 or a 7mm Im leaning to the 7mm but every1 who hunts in my fam says 7mm is 2 much gun for me...
Hard to beat an '06 class rifle: easy to shoot often for practice, light to carry in rugged country, plenty of power to kill elk.
Second that emphasis on good shooting.
Should mention something about using quality bullets too. Seen more than a few elk lost with not-so-good angle shots & conventional jacketed lead bullets.
That bullet would fit well in this nitwits brain. Stop killing the animals you worthless...
