Gastro Gnome - Eat Better Wherever

Should Magnums be used to Compensate Poor Marksmanship?

All it really comes down to is proper shot placement.
My granddad lived in the Bitterroot around Hamilton/Darby never hunted with any thing more than a 22 pistol according to my grandmother, she said he thought any thing more was just too much weight, whether that is true or not, it isn't up to me to judge, I never knew her to lie about any thing. :)
I would imagine pure ballistics in the factor only, that yes, the numbers don't lie, but what if you add the weight of the gun into mix.
I would pretty much bet that my '0-6' seems to kick harder than my 300. The weight on the bigger gun is substantially more than the smaller.
I have shot them both side by side and the '0-6' seems to kick harder and create a flinch after only a few shots. Others that have gone out shooting with me say the same thing.
I've never weighed either gun, so don't know how each fairs when it comes to that part. I guess I could though... :)
 
There is nothing to compensate for poor marksmanship. An animal that is gutshot with a 243 is dies just as slow as an animal gutshot with a 7mm rem or a 300 win. The best compensation for poor marksmanship is to take away the license and the firearm.

:cool:
 
Is it still fun to shoot a magnum?
Come on out and shoot one.. See for yourself... ;) :)

More is better, bigger is better. Accept the facts.
There is just something about shooting some thing with power and seeing things explode on the other end.... :eek: :D
 
This is the same argument guys with little wieners use - "it's how you use it, not how big it is..." hump :cool: "I can shoot my little gun better than you can shoot your big ol' thing, you beast."
