Yes, I would say Fosters observations/assertions are fairly conservative. (Which is prolly a good thing) I've recently been 'shocked' at how well a 223 was smacking deer and pigs @~200m night...

FUCK! Nathan messes with a newbie again!!!!! NoNoNo and bloody No!!! Use the right pill, learn animal anatomy and .243 is a more decisive killer than .308 on deer out to 300. There are a number of us...

Case in point: My 303 that I used for 30 years. Was my fathers and a good gun for most of that time. I gave it to a young fellow with only peripheral interest in hunting and to him its a basic...

Re-barrel is still happening, but will be keeping the 270wsm barrel in case a bare tikka action comes up or I decide I don't like the 300wsm.
