Do you own a rifle that is, if you want to be honest, overkill for the game/target you are gunning for but that you love anyway precisely because it puts a huge hurt on the unfortunate object downrange? In other words, you don't NEED that powerful a cartridge to drop what you are shooting at but it is sure nice to have?
A guy at the range one time was sighting in his Weatherby Mark V. I asked him what the caliber was and he said ".300 Weatherby". he intended to use it on and he said, "It's my deer rifle rifle." I half-jokingly told him that it might be a little much against eastern whitetail here in the VA woods and he replied, "But you don't have to worry about them going down if you shoot right!"
