[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2962731, member: 13624"] You're shooting all the way around the bullseye. It's not simply a matter of killing; I want enough [I]stopping[/I] power so that I don't have to track him for a mile. Ideally, I'd have dead-right-there performance, and an expanding .223 with an optimum shot will probably do that. When variables start to come into play, though, that shot may not have optimum placement when it arrives on target. It's the same reason I carry a .45-70 when I chase hogs: if I have one make a charge at me, I want something that will shatter bones and pin him where he stands [I]RFN[/I]. A different reason for wanting the stopping power, but it's the same principle. I recall reading a story of an Inuit who took a moose with a .22 WMR. Just because it [I]can[/I] be done, though, doesn't mean I don't want to stack the deck a little more in my favor. [/QUOTE]
