I have a question for the forum, what is up with caliber wars?!
I guess you could throw in any number of highly opinionated topics here and still draw a similar parallel (Ford vs Chevy, brand of boots, power tools, or any other shade or variety of choice any given person can make)
I have seen a multitude of arguments backed by online data or point by point reasons caliber "x" won't work at all but claiber "y" is the best thing ever....and honestly I'm tempted to throw my opinon in often as well but have to bring myself back to sanity and see there is literally no benefit in it at all....*disclaimer*...this post is in no way an invitation for caliber war argument.
My question is why do we do this? I have heard guys argue for the humane treatment of game we are hunting but they also treat their pets and livestock absolutely horribly...doesn't seem to be an honest reason for one choice over another when actions clearly contradict.
Almost unilaterally...any gun forum has a caliber war over something...and I'm not talking about discussion or disagreement but full on argument with personal feelings and identity attached. Names and insults and words I wouldn't want my mother to hear....but why?
I dunno if this is as big a mystery to anyone else but in a very genuine way I'd like to understand the driver for this so maybe we can collectively try to diffuse this craziness and see we are all normal healthy sane individuals enjoying a sport together...not mortal enemies out to undermine with personal choice of caliber.
Thoughts?
