Hahaha fair enough!

Confabulation:
it refers to unconsciously inventing false, fabricated, or imagined details to fill gaps in memory or knowledge

One of those 10 dollar words I have to know for work

My wife took down this cow from 600 yards using a 6CM. I just spent a week hunting bears with ABO Outfitters, and they rent out 6CM rifles for elk/deer/bears hunts. The owner (Cameron) told me there are far fewer rodeos with the 6CM than with larger calibers. If these influencers would shut up and give these little 6mm an honest try, they would be impressed. But they won't because they have agendas.

I think I was conflating confabulation and confusion. I incorrectly inferred implications of meaning in context.

I’d venture a guess Cameron has properly setup and zeroed rifles. Influencers need that whallop for when they hit em in the ass.

And this applies to all calibers. I do believe that a lot of elk are lost annually by shooters who don’t bother to go look for evidence of a hit, especially when the distance is long and the bullet is small.

I agree with all this except I’d weakly argue it would be more likely that your average magnum shooter woul be less inclined to hike across that ravine to look because we all know a magnum will drop them in their tracks
I’ve only killed a few with the rifle (300 WM, 7mm WBY, 223) and the only one that dropped on the spot
was a bull shot through the lungs (200 yards) with a 160 gr 7mm Nosler partition. Pencil hole entrance, between the ribs (no bone fragments) and a pencil hole exit.
We’ve all been taught “magnum vs no magnum: boy they sure can soak up the lead! vs yup, it doesn’t have enough wallop!
