And I have long disagreed with the magnumitis that seems to have infected the hunting world. Seems today you can't kill a squirrel with a .30-30 and forget deer with anything less than 50BMG. It'll just bounce off them.......

I wasn't aware wild game had gotten hold of body armor in recent years.

The .257 Wby is a world famous caliber, used to hunt all but the largest game, spoken of with reverence by every gun writer, and proven since 1944 or so to be absolutely lethal on all manner of game here and on safari.

I've found that when someone says 'enough gun' it is actually describing what is enough for that person's ego. It makes no difference to the tens of thousands of deer killed every year whether it was a .30-30, .257, or .338 Win Mag.
Punish your shoulder if you really think it makes it better. We'll agree to disagree that things get any deader than dead.
I hunt pronghorn, mulies, elk and the occasional bear. The .257Wby is more than 'enough gun' for any of them.
