    Why My Deer Cartridge is Better than Yours

    Now on this Friday night (after a few beers), I just want to tell you all that my favourite NZ deer cartridge is so vastly superior to yours that I will preach its virtues at the top of my lungs at the local gun shop and on this forum.

    You will hear how its ballistics are better, how it 'shoots like a laser, recoils like a pussy cat and if you buy it in type 'X' rifle then the trigger 'breaks like glass'.

    I will download photos or get out my phone and show you the latest stag I shot with it..... show you the targets that have tiny little groups on them.... reiterate the stories of my hunting and shooting exploits for the umpteenth time (usually with the distances increasing with each telling), and you will have to read or hear my testimony whether you want to or not.

    And I will quickly and effectively prove to you why your cartridge is a waste of time (Hah...it was since its very inception!) ... and why mine makes so much more sense.

    It doesn’t matter to me whether you've taken animals with your cartridge from around the world.... you’ve obviously just been lucky this whole time, as everyone knows your cartridge is inferior and my cartridge choice is simply superior.

    Yes, I will defend my chosen cartridge like a religious zealot... wild-eyed, and nearly rabid in my keyboard defense of it. Because....well.... if you don't know by now, my cartridge is simply better than yours....

    When hunting think safety first

    Sounds like your tanks are fully stocked for this pissing contest

    Maybe we can invent a "Bunji" award, and give it to the person who spins the most highly unlikely exploits

    Oh and just for the record.... my rifle is considerably better than your rifle

    My cartridge is better than yours because I have bullets and powder for it.
