As some of you have said above there is NOTHING that cannot be done with a .22 LR, a 12 bore shotgun, a .30-06, a .375 H&H (substitute a .416 Rigby if you like) and a big .470 or .500. All of these are nearly or more than 100 years old BUT the writers and advertisers have to keep making money, no one blames them for that, we all have a living to make, just donīt expect me to swallow it all ! best, Mike

Well said.

Almost none of the new cartridges in the last twenty years do anything that the cartridges invented about a hundred years ago can not do.

And the modern ones ... will less style and sophistication.
