[QUOTE="SaileAway, post: 5251878, member: 22534"] Before I knew what I was doing (Well, I still don't, but I know better), I was given a .17HMR and told to hunt with that. It was legal back then, apparently (In Louisiana). I shot a doe straight through both lungs and she dropped after about 20 yards of running. Bullets kill, even little ones, but knowing how unforgiving a smaller caliber is (And with military experience with 5.57), I now hunt with a 7MM and my wife uses a 45-70. I would feel terrible if I wounded an animal and left it to suffer because I wanted to prove I can use a smaller round. [/QUOTE]
