Now, go listen to the previous episode where he and Seth from Hornady talk about the dozens of African animals killed with the 22 creed and arc

They even discuss how devastating the ELDx is at close range because it is highly fragmenting at high velocity—DRTing Africa game.

Not till the end does he interrupt Seth to say, but you shouldn’t use a 22 creed cause you might want to shoot the trophy through the paunch so you need to be over gunned.

I am down with people choosing what they want. There is lots of personal choice.

What Form and small caliber enthusiasts generally say “you can” shoot small caliber, 1) here is proof it kills and then 2) this is the benefit. We (I am a small caliber enthusiast too) freely admit limitations.

The issue is the status quo is focused on proving small caliber enthusiasts are categorically wrong.

JVB says categorically you can’t do xyz ethically. JVB is a true believer and clearly an industry insider. He claims evidence is cherry picked to justify preconceptions. I say that is what he is doing.

Reminds me of what Elon Musk set out to do with rocket ships. The establishment says “You can’t fire, land, and reuse a rocket within weeks” Elon said, hold my beer… SpaceX is dominating the industry.

I just watched the EXO caribou hunt. Steve freaking pinwheels that bull at 600 yards, it goes 5 yards and loses its ability to stand on all fours within 20 seconds???

Not sure WTF JVB watched lol.
Well if Steve had used a barnes bullet or (insert other sponsor) and a leupold scope (best warranty you will never need) that moose would have been dead in 10 seconds. Just need to apply jvb logic

We all make assumptions. Sometimes it’s hard for us to question our assumptions, because it requires the ability (and willingness) to accept being wrong. Successful people don’t achieve by being wrong, so many successful people lack the flexibility to look in the mirror.

One trait of highly successful people is their ability (and willingness) to accept being wrong. This trait separates the successful from the highly successful.

Some of our assumptions are inherited. These are the hardest assumptions to question, because we are not only questioning the assumption, but also the people who gave us the assumption. Think about how hard it is to question something your dad taught you was true, but turned out not to be.

I was taught that the .30-06 with 180 grain bullets was the only rifle to hunt with. Anything less wasn’t enough and anything more was too much.

It’s hard to question, sometimes.
