Re: Funny Colin Powell Story

I wonder why someone hunting blacktail deer would be doing so with a .338 winchester w/250 grain bullets. For those not too familiar with firearms, shooting a Blacktail with that round is akin to swatting a fly with Webster's dictionary.

I agree the .338 may be a little overkill for the size of game, but if you can put that slug on target it's much more humane because boy, would that deer drop or what? I've got a friend who hunts antelope in Wyoming, and has sworn off pin-bores completely after loosing one after the other. He's a hopeless romantic and now bags everything with a Sharps 45-90. Ouch!
