Well said ELK. We all as individuals have a "go to rifle" and or caliber, Chucks is not my my idea of perfect but it seems to work for him and I'm sure countless others. Mine is 300 Weatherby, although I have never owned a weatherby rifle. I have shot a 300 Mag for close to 25 years and had spectacular success with proper bullets and bullet placement. I however have many other magnum rifles in my arsenal . Why? because as Townsend Whelan said "only accurate rifles are interesting" Or something along that line. Mine are all accurate. I may not shoot them much but a sub MOA rifle is hard to part with (for me). I have also owned and still do own a few non magnum mid bores, they all serve a purpose or will some day
, especially as arthritis tells me magnums are not as much fun to shoot anymore. Do I think cartridge choice is moot? At this point in life NO.
