Mate I cannot agree with your statement I use my 25 06 lamping even used to take my 300 rum out they are just fine because I make damned sure I know what I'm shooting at. If you can't see behind that target you shouldn't be pulling the trigger no matter the calibre
I agree Dan and obviously wouldn't shoot without knowing what my backstop was etc.
I was thinking from a point of view where maybe there isn't field after field or hectares of space behind the target, where perhaps even the use of a 50 cal would be fine
(This is a sweeping statement but just for simplicity) More powe
