Canis Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I guess there are two issues to contend with here- a larger calibre firearm will make a clean kill more likely, possibly also at a greater range- but will be more likely to render the prey unsuitable for the table. I'm sure most would agree the "Correct" firearm for a particular species is the one that has enough power to acheive a clean kill at normal ranges without rendering the prey inedible! (assuming that the species is edible that is) If i'm asked to express a preference though I'd find "here is the video of a rabbit being shot with a .308- what a mess" far prefrable to "here is a video of a rabbit being shot with an hmr at 250 yards - please note video has been shortened to cut out all the time it took for the gunshot wound to go gangrenous and ther rabbit die as a consequence" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
