So, the MAN who’s been there, done that, recommends the LIGHTEST caliber that will do the job.
Interesting, VERY interesting, and fits with a shift I’ve been making for some time in my personal weapon choices.
I take it Chuck is saying to plan for the fight you expect to have to fight, and be prepared to adjust if the fight is not as expected. The Big Caliber people say plan for the longest/baddest/biggest fight you might have to engage in, and arm for THAT fight.
The difference is large additional cost, and large additional weight to hump in the field. Chuck says plan for the reality of the battlefield, not YOUR interpretation of what it MIGHT be like.
The 10-22 gets more attention. Might have to Tommy mine up a bit to fit this new reality, though.
