I've read maybe a page or three on this topic myself and cant believe the turn around from the old to now.
The range of different projectiles today is bloody overwhelming to me fi starters let alone the pics of big holes and little holes where these new bullets have blasted their way into flesh etc, guess it's the new norm eh. The wee .22 pills as we know were thrashed to death decades ago and put down by those that thought they knew everything. Those of you who worked day in day out on the safer end of a rifle lol know too well that one projectile weight was basically used for every thing that stuck it's head up.
Would it be safe for me to say that today the GET IN CLOSE thingy is/has kinda left the room.. would you say?
There are some of us ol pricks that are still living in the good ol days..although our numbers are but a few.
Who knows what's around the corner.....I certanly would not be giving a toss about what type of new pill that Joe blogs happened to shoot his deer with. Perhaps I could put up a story myself of old and new where just one bullet weight does it all eh.
