Peterson 's Hunting - Small caliber article

[KurtR]

Exactly. And a 223 doesnt meet that definition.

So you’re saying a well placed shot from a 22 caliber with the right bullet doesn’t kill fast enough? Multiple people, pictures and data and you’re the only one that’s right……

The ones it worked on

Yeah. Cause none of the newbies to small calibers would post their bad outcomes?

With all the bitching people do here they wouldn’t love to tell the small caliber crowd how stupid they are and how they cost them the BOAL?

Yeah right.

Yeah right.

People love being right about what they have already comitted to. Very rarely do people actually stop and reconsider.

That make absolutely zero sense in this situation.

I never wanted to use a .223 on elk, but I’m about ready to buy one and try it. Not because of those that have used it and say it works, but because of those that haven’t and say it doesn’t.

Look at us arguing on the internet and not insulting or acting ugly!

With that I agree.

I get it, you are trolling. 223 with a good bullet kills very quickly.

Describing yourself perfectly here.

I once thought a 30-06 was minimum for AK hunting. Because I'm not pig head I reassessed and kept questioning until I abandoned my former position and carry a 223 sometimes when looking for moose or browns.

If you are the jumpy sort that cannot wait for a good shot and hold your nerves, take Kilimanjaro Bells advice and carry the biggest gun you can. Or, learn to manage your nerves and carry something smaller like Bell did himself.

That is its main appeal. There isnt a 700 page thread for .308. Everyone knows its works. It would be boring.
