I look at it this way - I have many, many hunting rifles. I enjoy them all, but the fact is about 50 of them are seldom used. I may, at some point, consolidate my collection. It is hard for me to spend much time with most of them, so I gravitate to those that are “most useful”. I just don’t think I’ve found the singular, perfect rifle/cartridge yet...at least perfect for what I do. It is like the search for the Holy Grail.
Since I own a lot of cartridges, I’m pretty familiar with their advantages and short comings. I like to hear other viewpoints on the subject.
Actually, Boddington used to be a bigger proponent of 300 magnums, 300 Weatherby in particular. He seems to have lightened up a bit in his stance.
