David petzal favorite calibers greensboro

Subtitle: Morons on Big Game Calibers.

Anyone read the July issue of Field & Stream? Yours truly is feeling pretty darned smug about right now! It appears that David Petzal stole my ideas that I posted on here a few weeks ago on caliber for elk/elephant/Jabba the Hut.

Mr. Petzal listed the 270 as his #2 all-around caliber (behind only the 30-06), described as a rifle for anything bigger than a prairie dog and smaller than a brown bear. His rationale - Listen up sports fans, 'cause ole Dan been tellin' yall this fer a while - is that in times past the 270 might have been a bit light to rank this highly, but with the new premium bullet designs, things have changed.

Yuk, yuk, yuk, I love to stick it to the shoulder cannon brigade. Macho men who think the size of their rifle/truck/elk bugle/whatever gives them an edge with the ladies make me snicker.
