Mmmm…..not experienced? Oh so you are the psychic with x ray vision on the site. You comment reflects your issues not mine.

When it comes to hunting related topics, the amount of non-objective, stuck in their ways, and just generally obnoxious information and ideas for sure come from a particular generation. And it’s not even really close.
I dont know many boomers shooting 6.5 creeds.
Dave Emary, before retiring was Hornadys chief ballistician. He played a major role in the development of the 6.5 creedmoor. It is his favorite catridge for good reason. It manages to outperform most catridges designed before its time. With the introduction of affordable laser range finders shooters could take advantage of high bc bullets. With High bc bullets the game was no longer maximum point blank range. As a result we can now be more efficient by dialing or holding. Dave Emary was not born in 2000 fyi. I do think some people are inherently more analytical and driven by logic, these people are more likely to shoot Dave Emary's favorite catridge.
No it’s the one that thinks knockdown power, ft lbs of energy and large bullet diameter is what kills things.
The discussions on this big gun little/ gun topic on Rokslide has demonstrated a considerable amount of myopic behavior on both sides of the argument. At the end of the day there are likely many, like me, who own and use calibers across the spectrum on game. With the right bullet and shot placement they all kill. There are thousands of examples on one side and hundreds of thousands on the other (due to historical norms). It is hard to understand why either group seems to insist on forcing their views the other. It really doesn't matter. You use a 22ARC on moose, cool. You use a 338 win mag on deer, cool. Whatever trips your trigger, you do you, I'll do me and we will both be successful.
The “caliber argument” is a just small part of the overall picture.
This is very true. But again its plainly obvious that this occurs on both sides of the "fight". There is no guiltless "side". There is no point to any discussion on this forum if it can't be done in a respectful, educational manner.
