The .600 Nitro Express, delivering misery at both ends for 122 years. What a beast.
Has anyone mentioned the trusty old 470 Nitro Express yet? I love loading these massive cartridges into a double, pretty impressive looking cartridge IMO.

I agree with the 270win, although I think it looks best with a long low drag bullet like a eldx seated long. Svelte is a good description I reckon, especially when compared to a stumpy,frumpy looking cartridge like 308 or God forbid a wssm.Was just about to try those out, but in .270 Win. I think the proportions of the 270 Winchester are anatomically correct.View attachment 446893
@rdogThere are 3 beautifully proportioned cartridges all with the same body taper, neck length just bigger &
smaller versions of the 30/06 . The 222 rem 30/06 & 50 BMG and of course we have the super sexy 6.5CM i had to add that to the list for for Bob 35 you know who.View attachment 447423
Bob i have to agree the 6.5x55 is a wonderful cartridge that's why i have 2, a Tikka ultra lite &a M38 swede, i got caught up in the 6.5 cm thing for long distance target shooting using a short action Howa .@rdog
Nice mate. The 6.5 man bun is nice but not as sleek and sexy as the 6.5x55 Swede. A bit like comparing Marilyn Monroes legs are the Swede. Your legs are the manbun. Not a pretty picture. Saying the manbun is sexy is akin to saying the 243 is a hunting cartridge, total bullshit.
