Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I've killed quite a few elk with my 30-06 and 300 win mag, but recently have been pretty danged pleased with the 325wsm and 200gr accubonds.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

I think the .458 Lott would be ideal for me....just need to get one.  Until then I'll keep using a .338-378 Mag.
