I'm having a hard time understanding why that word seems to be used so often with a negative connotation when referring to a cartridge or calibre for hunting game.
Merriam Webster: Simple Definition of adequate. : enough for some need or requirement. : good enough : of a quality that is good or acceptable : of a quality that is acceptable but not better than acceptable.
Would "adequate" in the hands of a more skilled hunter that has more patience, better stalking skills, and proficiency with their rifle or handgun, then be "better than acceptable"?
I wonder if more often than not, this term is more representative of themselves as hunters and not the actual cartridge or calibre being inquired about.
What are your thoughts?
