He asked a serious question to which you were a smart ass and then continued even after he gave you the info. You haven't been here long and we get all sorts of stupid questions and people looking for things they can't or shouldn't use. He was trying to make sure you could even use what you were looking for.
Just because we say don't mess with the new guys on the site doesn't mean the new guy is always right. Think about it the next time before acting like an ass to someone who is trying to help you. </div></div>
rob,i get where you are coming from but when looking at this snowball objectively i asked a very specific and simple question. my question was not broad,vague or open ended. i didnt ask "what is the heaviest.308 ammo my rifle can accurately stabilize, or hunt with,or compete with.... just what is the heaviest factory available ammo. i asked this because i was curious and i like to do my own research and comparisons for my own benefit. had i received a simple specific answer i would have replied with a courteous thank you and went and done my own homework. after that i more than likely would have returned and then asked additional questions such as "out of x, y, or z available ammo what would be best for hunting black bear, deer, and target shooting etc...
instead of a specific answer to my question i got another question. now, admittedly; i took this as assuming i am a newb without clue and that i needed to be schooled by someone who has been on this site for a while and is tired of the newb questions. and in my response i still put a
there so my intention was not to be a dick, but just a little sarcastic. now in return he called me a dipshit so i called him out on not answering my question. then it was time to "sick" the newb and try to teach me about forum etiquette. i get it, i am an admin on some very large motorcycle forums so i know how it goes, and been involved in forums for many years.
in summary, if my assumption was wrong regarding the intentions of fm to my original question then i apologize (i can be a bit defensive). but if he genuinely assumed i was a dumb newb and needed to be schooled then for his assumptions i think an apology my way would be reasonable.
and to those who offered helpful info. :thumbup
