These guys disagree with RS’s caliber choices

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

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".

Oof, wonder if he had to get an FAA permit to carry that rifle around in the mountains.

Looks like a blessed dude with a wonderful family though.

That is or was trump jrs site.
No mention of “wallop” though.

Article brought to you by the guy who carries a 45, only because they don't make a 46!

It doesn’t affect me personally; why does it you?

I posted it because it mentions Rokslide, where I happen to be a member and moderator and thought some might find of interest.

If you don’t—move on.

I always laugh at guys who use magnums with the excuse of “I want it to drop no matter where I hit it”.
They act like the mighty lords caliber is going to save them from poor marksmanship.
I did find some humor in the article, I jokingly say all the time that if Jesus deer hunted he’d use a 25-06 lol.

Is it satire? His story about why you shouldn’t use small calibers is a kid dropping a charging buffalo in one shot with a 22 hornet.

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

You just wait. In 40 or 50 years you'll miss a deer's heart by 0.050" and wish you shot 300 win mag, I tell ya what

There never is. Just small essays more less.
Some of them are pretty good.

 

[grizz19]

I used to be one of those guys. I spent too much time on here now I’m selling my 7prc and building a 25 creed…

 

[PathFinder]

Seems like a good guy, but woefully unqualified to be writing that article for any kind of a serious publication.

 

[Swamp Fox]

I enjoyed the article.

Not everything written down and shared has to be Summa Theologica ... or even Beowulf.... LOL

Welcome to pen and parchment.

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

You mean as opposed to the “The Gospel of the Cult of the Gravel Avalanche”?

Good read

Good read

 

[Deere_Man]

Yeah, I thought it was like a program being written with a back door security entry with the story of the 22 Hornet dropping the buffalo. His mind has already been infected with the sickness. He will be posting in the 22 Hornet thread here soon about how a 1.5 year old Mule Deer became a freezer pleaser. The intrigue is like a small worm getting larger and larger. It has taken root.

I was raised on a ranch in southern New Mexico. I've seen Mule deer killed with almost every caliber made. My mother was very creative in cooking deer meat. I got a 222 Remington 722 for my birthday in 1954. The 50 grain bullet accounted for more deer kills on that ranch than all the others combined. I shoot a 6MM now and when I can go hunting it is deadly. I guess I was ignorant about what was needed to kill a deer as I didn't read the gun rags of the day.

 

[Deere_Man]

I’ve heard so many good things about the 222 and 50gr soft points. I have been looking for one for a couple years now and they were either a Savage 340 with that wonky scope mount, or they were a $1500 Sako. This T3 was a great middle ground.
