    Seen a few reds run away from a plethora of other cals too, just sayin; practice makes perfect and I have learned to not squeeze the trigger unless I am 100% sure that in a second, that deer in the crosshairs is going to be dead.

    My point was its not a good cal to start with hunting imo.
    When you've had a few years under your belt and lots of animals then yeah if that's your thing using a bunny gun and you no its limitations then go hard.

    I completely agree, but don't put it on the projectile - put it on the shooter!!

    Hahahaha okay Bradly, but as long as it's on your farm and nowhere else. Bwahahahaha hot barrels. Now fuck off and let this newbie go pay for his 308 come back when he's asking if a Burris Eliminator is a good first scope
