Or makes up for their inability to make it stick out more than 2 inches.

This is my point. Last year I was on my porch when I heard a bullet/shell/whatever zing by. If it was close enough to hear, it was too dang close. I actually looked all over my house to see if there were any holes...and stayed indoors the rest of that day.

I can see the utility of having a "high powered rifle" in order to have a flat trajectory over a long distance... but why you would couple that distance with a round that cleanly goes through at least two exterior walls of a HOUSE is beyond me... I'd want something that is going to go ballistic upon hitting flesh and bone. If I'm shooting a deer 300 yards a way, I want it to die where it gets hit... not get a centimeter wide entrance/exit wound that will take a half hour to kill the animal.

I don't see the value in that... meh

That is my point. Personally I use a pistol-makes it more of a challenge and I am better with a handgun than a rifle!
However, although I have a rifle capable of making a 300 yard shot, where in PA do you GET a 300 yard shot?
I always thought the guys with the super dooper magnums were making up for something else that was too small.............
