That's two of my points exactly, Boyd.

Two of the three had 300 Ultramags and the other had a 300 WSM. All three thought they were the reincarnation of Davy Crockett and as good as any Marine sniper (they actually said that last one).

And none of them could reliably hit a sheet of paper at 200 yards.

I know that there are people (like our friend Boyd here) who is fully capable of making very long-range hits ON THE FIRST SHOT. But I'm also afraid that thousands of people buy mega-magnums and believe that owning the rifle makes them a great shot.

The inevitable wound-and-lose effect on game animals sickens me.
