[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 108611, member: 3373"] USMCDI - Can't argue with the hydrostatic shock value. That shock, according to the laws of physics, works both ways. My point was if the gun isn't any fun to shoot, your accuracy will suffer. If you don't mind recoil then shoot the biggest you want. Once had a friend tell me when I asked why he shot such a big gun at elk his answer was "When the only shot I have is up the ass I want his eyes to bulge." 2400 - The few elk I've shot as well as a moose have been with a .270 - 130 gr. None went more than about 30 yards and the longest was 320 yds. Every shot was well-placed which is the key. My main point is shoot a gun you are comfortable with and that comes down to personal choice with a variety of factors. I've never checked but are there many stores that allow a buyer to shoot a gun prior to purchase? Problem might be liability because I'm sure big guns would shake some dust loose if shot indoors.
