300magman,

Exactly, I do not see why some feel the need to buy all of these magnums, buy super premium ammunition and shoot there deer at 35-100 yards. If a guy says because I want to, that is more than enough reason for me, but don’t tell me it’s because it is the greatest deer rifle to come along in recent history, just tell everyone it is because you wanted one, that my friend is justification enough for just about anything.

I do own and use magnums but I use a handload appropriate for the situation. I have used my 257 Weatherby a lot for hunting locally. I have a farm I hunt on that I may get a 25 yard shot or I may be faced with a 300+ yard shot, so I use a partition. They stand up to up close shots, do not tear apart an animal, but yet perform at the greater distances that I often encounter.
