“That ain’t no shit neither. I’ve done got me one hundred and fifty seven dead gooks killed. And fifty water buffaloes too. Them are all certified.”

I would think .30-06.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You know, chosing a caiber is like choosing two pairs of shoes.One for yourself and one for the target. The one caliber has to fit both the shooter and the target.

There is a lot of variation in reference. For this reason there is no best caliber. Although it was against the law 50 years ago, I saw a native Canadian shoot a moose with a .22 cal. short, single shot trapping rifle. It was a side on shot at about 70 yards with the moose in the water up to his shoulders, a full racked bull.

Dropped him like a sack of potatoes, hit him right in the ear canal and went right to the brain. It was dead before it fell.

Ever since then I don’t tell anyone but myself what caliber should be used.

“Any women?, children?” “Sometimes!” “How can you shoot women and children?” “Easy. You just don’t lead ‘em as much!” “Ain’t war hell?’
