I'm thinking .338 caliber or larger. Most ethical killer out there..

Whoa!

Never. 6.5mm is really just a half axed effort on being a 7mm.

And we all know we owe it to the critters to be complete axes.

No AR's period! They're unethical no matter the caliber!

You can hunt with a 30 round magazine here in Arizona. Or 100 rounds, si quieres:IBCOOL:

Here too! It's awesome for us commoners who can't shoot.

Next year I'm going NFA 240 or maybe old school 60.

you're right! .30 cal center fire rifles or bigger only! We all know "traditional" black powder rifles are way more ethical to hunt with than any "Modern Sporting Rifle"
