I understand people not liking the magnums or larger calibers because they don't enjoy the recoil and they feel comfortable making a kill shot with a smaller caliber. I have no argument with that. I know a man from India who's killed many blue bulls with a .22lr. Everybody has their own preference. As long as they can make an ethical and clean kill shot then I dont care. Every caliber from a .22 on up has the potential to kill. Very few can blow through a big game animals shoulder blade like it wasn't even there though. A .243 to the shoulder on an elk and thats an injured animal, a .338 winchester mag and that elk isn't going far, if it even moves at all. I personally just like using the larger calibers because it leaves less room for human error and to be honest I really enjoy the recoil on a rifle as long as it doesnt break my shoulder. Why else would I have a .50 bmg and a 500 smith and wesson in my gun collection?
