This is a bit off topic but i was just curious to hear others opinion in this scenario. I was running dogs with a guy last night for hogs and we started shootin' the shit about hunting and what not. And somewhere along the conversation I mentioned that i reload for my rifles to increase accuracy.
Long story short he was saying that it is way better to have a 300 Win Mag/ 30-06/ ETC… then to have an accurate smaller caliber. I told him in my experience it is all about shot placement. and how if i had to choose one rifle to hunt with year round here in TX i would take an accurate 243 or even 223 long before a "target nicking, animal destroying rifle"
What are yalls thoughts on this?
scenario would be somewhere along the lines of .5 MOA 243 Vs 2+MOA 300 variant
