Apologies the start of the thread gave you the impression that I was hoping to belittle anyone. I was interested to know what physical evidence it would take to get others to believe what I and some others do. I think it’s probably about as difficult as convincing someone there are moose in NZ, even if you killed one.

I think, judging from what I have read, that No one is doubting the 223 works for you and others. The unknown factor is how each of you chooses too use such a rifle and if it differs from how id use my, bigger rifle. Subconsciously bullet placement might well be different for. Gimp Talked about high shoulder and spine for example.

But I have a question in return. I dont suffer from recoil weariness, or flinch etc. Ill shoot my 270 just as well as I will my 223, when I had it. As far as I can remember, Ive only lost 1 animal in the last 7 years wounded.
What calibre would you recommend I pick up to take hunting, and why?
