Animals are just like people, one guy can take a complete beating and still keep swinging and the next guy has a glass jaw.

I have argued this shit with form before, back when I was a manly magnum only guy. I’ve had a few poor experiences with a 6.5 shooting copper bullets. Jumped back up to a 300 win mag which at distance with copper bullets sucked harder than pharmseller, but then shooting my 338 lapua with 300 grain Berger’s had some bang flops(not thru the spine) but also shot a forked horn buck at 120 yards thru the almighty shoulder only to have it run off over a 100 yards. The offside shoulder was only holding on by hide.

All that is to say I don’t think it matters what you shoot really but if shooting a big dog 338 works go for it, if a 22 creed works good for you. Unfortunately we form our opinions on the experiences we have and when you have a bad experience shooting a small gun it’s easy to say if I had a bigger gun it would have been better, but maybe you had the one in a million experience only to right the whole option off.
