For many, many years the biggest bear killed in the whole world was shot by an old woman with a bolt action .22 rimfire (single shot I believe!). There are always one chance in a million shots (she happend to be able to get VERY close to his temple for the first shot! And only did it for fear of her life), and there are always people who should be shot themselves for using underpowered weapons just to prove a point, or show off. They lead to lost game, animals suffering horribly, and running off to die days later. Of course they never talk about all the times THAT happened!

Anytime people brag about making kills with underpowered weapons it tells me one thing. "
A$$HO#@! Who will have his day in hell." Just keep bragging.

If your caught in a bad situation and have to use an underpowered weapon...
DO IT! But if you have an option, consider what your doing, and that
WE WILL ALL ANSWER FOR OUR ACTIONS ONE DAY!Animals know no right from wrong. People DO, and still often conscously make the wrong choice. Who
really deserves to suffer?
Whew! Were did that come from? Rant over...
