re: #556 Dark_Falcon

I’m not being obtuse. The argument about if it is overkill depends on the cartridge in this sort of matter. Using 7.62X51mm cartridge on a groundhog would be overkill even if you fired the shot from a single shot bolt-action rifle.

that’s why you don’t use a 7.62 to hunt groundhogs, squirrels or other small game. However a 7.62 is quite good for deer hunting and bigger game. I used to hunt squirrel’s with a .22, rabbit/game birds with a 12guage shotgun, deer with an SKS or a 30.06 (and used that one for bear).
