Peterson 's Hunting - Small caliber article

[Aussie Dan]

Trying to understand your logic, a 25-06 shooting a 128-135 grain bullet would be inadequate for elk but a 270 with a 130-150 grain bullet is fine. How does .02” and at most 15 more grains change the equation for you?

Its the same kind of "logic" which suggests that a 243 is a great starter "do it all" cartridge for kids and women, but once someone is bigger and ostensibly stronger and supposedly more able to handle recoil, then suddenly the 243 becomes anaemic and doesn't have sufficient "wallop" and "knock down power"

That one always make me giggle
