"Why Big Bores?"




On large game you really don't have a choice. All this talk of shooting eg cape buffalo with military calibres, was probably done many years ago. And probably becuase most of the famrers you mention had no choice - ie that's their only rifle. I'm sure if they had a decent larger calibre at hand that is what they would choose to use.

Because it increases the safety factor. Shooting something dangerous with a marginal or inadequate calibre is asking for trouble.

On medium game because they are fun! Why not?

You asked some questions on the pig hunt Orion and I recently did. To do it differently. Sure a lot of Aussie hunters go out with 22s and 6mm's as well as 308s etc. We wanted to do it differently as this is a website with a big bore leaning.

A lot of Aussie hunters who go overseas also do the same thing. Practice, practice, paractice. What better way to practice than on running living moving targets. Much better than paper punching.

I hope you enjoy the site.

If you don't mind, what part of the world are you from?
