      I prefer the .22 cal myself.
      Here's one I developed for elephants

        Yup, I'd recognize the .22 earsplitenlöudenboomer anywhere. We used that to kill squirrels in my part of the state. We just like em really really dead and partially cooked!

There's no shortage of big game animals being taken with smaller calibers over the last 100yrs, but just because something 'can' be done doesn't mean it 'should' be done. If you can handle the recoil, mitigating risk of wind, elevation, and shot placement isn't a bad thing. That especially goes for expensive guided hunts where one trigger pull is the cost of a F-150. For folks that live and hunt in places their whole life, I'm sure there is familiarity of methods, terrain, and shooting conditions that gives the confidence for lighter calibers.

          Exactly how I feel, but he wrote it much more eloquently!

            I have no clue what this is, but it ain't the loudenboomer.
            My dad was personal friends with ole Ack so I'm very familiar with the cartridge.
            That looks nothing like a. 378 unless it's photography magic.
            Friend sent the pic to me awhile back, was just having a little fun

              300wm. That’s what I recommend to my brother when he asked about a gun that’ll take all of North American game.

                Don't really matter as long as it's at least .30 cal and NOT subsonic.

                  I could probably get by with my 270 Winchester and handloads, but for a true “all around”, I would have to choose either my 9.3x62 or 9.3x74r.

                    7-08 with the proper pills will tackle anything in North America. Heck , the 30-30 is a popular bear gun in the north east.

                      30-06 is the most versatile round made....period

                        Either a 7mm Rem. Mag or a 30-06, even though I have never been a 30-06 fan, they really are great big game rifles, just not as flat of trajectory as a 7mm Rem. Mag.

                            Ole Jack did it more than once.
                            I always thought he was about a sane as a man could be.
                            Good bullet, through the shoulders, didn't make it 20 .
