I have a rule. I don't take criticism from people I wouldn't ask advice from. That applies here.

I always have to question why people feel the need to drive traffic to these sites.

 

[Bugger]

That was the laziest writing I’ve seen in a while.

I just read that, and as a small caliber junkie, I got a good chuckle out of it.

I have a .300 WM. I will not use it on any critter deer or smaller. Too much damage with a slightly misplaced hit.

I went and read the "article". @Q_Sertorius is right, don't bother and don't give him the click.

If I intentionally combed the .223/6mm threads, trying to compile the least informed and fallacious arguments into one vomitous mass, I probably still wouldn't have something so incoherent and worthless.

It's the worst versions of the following arguments:
-Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
-You owe it to the animal.
-The anonymous "undersize round" guy and the crowd that follow him have brain damage (implied).
-Use enough gun!
-.300WM is my choice for Mississippi whitetails.
-Conventional wisdom and common sense say...
-A guy once killed a cape buffalo with a .22 hornet behind the ear, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

Who cares? Use what you like.

 

[Poser]

.300 WM for Mississippi Whitetails? pffft.

 

[Trogon]

Just fudd lore being replaced with its modern equivalent, bro science

They have some good articles for the sake of storytelling but they also seem to promote stuff I would often disagree with. Some recommendations are good and some not. Most articles are from contributors so it is what it is.

 

[BBob]

You just described every forum and magazine out there

That I did!

My reply to that article…. “Suck It!”

 

[thinhorn_AK]

I’ll just keep shooting stuff with my 30-06 and other people can do whatever the hell they want.

Ahem, don’t you mean the Lord’s caliber? Can I get an amen?!?! We show respect around here on concrete-slide.

Amen brother. I hope my sins are absolved.

It just proves anyone can get published online. I wouldn't put too much into what the author wrote after seeing that he posted this hero picture on Instagram of his "Colorado mule deer". Bucks like that fall to nothing less than the "lord's cartridge".

I like to use land mines for my whitetail hunting

Pretty funny. People can use what they want. My first custom rifle was an 1-8" twist 22-250 sometime around 2005 or 2006 I think. Killed a ton of deer with that rifle and 75 amax's. I built my first 223ai shortly thereafter and have been using them ever since. They are still working today
