What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

That's a new one to me, I don't know anyone that's argued about a dick being compared to snow.

You guys sound like guys argue about how their three inch penis is big when compared to three inches of snow.

Can your micropenis get your old lady pregnant still?? Yes will her boyfriend’s big hog get her “more” pregnant? No. But will it hurt more in doing so most likely. The moral of this story is just shut up and shoot animals, if you want to use a 50 bmg go for it or don’t who gives a shit.

Incredibly insightful contribution to the conversation, thank you for your thoughtful commentary.

Oh I’ve often heard that the weatherman use the same ruler when predicting snow that is often used for measuring the manhood. Especially the guys doing the snow report at ski areas.

That actually makes sense.

I wasn’t a big fan of recoil. Opposite of “tough times create strong men” I suppose, and I’ve grown up in arguably one of the easiest times to be alive.

That being said, I still liked the 30cal and went with a 308. To me, the recoil (especially with a suppressor) is nearly non-existent. I can shoot all day if I want and not be sore. Plus it does work down range. This is just for Michigan white tail, and it doesn’t take much. I’d take a .223 if I had to, but that seems boring to me, among other things.

I grabbed a 300 win mag before I went to Montana and once again, the suppressor made it a breeze to shoot all day. The concussion was gone; and the recoil felt like that of my .308.

One thing I will say, those that live and breath marksmanship may be pushing the super small calibers, but we won’t see the average aspiring fudd and new hunter posting about how he wounded a deer with a .223 on his third ever time in the woods where he didn’t know better and took a weird angle shot. Or if the round was deflected by brush/branches and changed path resulting in a less than perfect hit.

I’m convinced that the super small calibers *can* do the job just fine in the right hands. I’m not convinced that it’s the best thing to put out there as a suggestion for everyone to use. Since it makes no difference to me, I’ll opt for the larger caliber that I equally enjoy shooting.

(I also have a 6.5 creedmoor that I have taken a deer with, I just prefer my larger calibers.)

Have you read the .223 thread? It's not that .223 can do the job fine in the right hands. It's that .223 is, by the numbers of folks who actually measure/keep track, the highest success rate option for killing animals at conventional range (450ish yards and under) for all shooters. Especially new hunters/shooters.

This is certainly contingent on using bullets like the 77TMK that maximize wound channel. A mono in a .223 is going to be underwhelming. The TMK is devastating and if you go read that thread you'll see photo after photo of massive internal damage on deer, elk, moose, etc.
