30-06 will kill anything on the planet. Only pussies believe this crap about minimums.

Been reading his work for decades; and still do. His personal economy is none of my business. Bankruptcy is a legal option. It’s no big deal to give away a few things that can’t be attached. If you’re not intentionally running bankruptcy scams, it’s part of business and life . I laugh at overly...

LMAO

I did and now get ripped off from Nosler; or settle for Winchester brass(when available). They sell 325wsm(when availably) for $116 for 25 cases. Natchez has them(Nosler brass) for $84 for 25 pieces.WTF?. Sad but true. NOSLER SUCKS!!!

Acoustic Bass,Landscaping my property, vegetable garden, wood working,occasional restoration,outdoor activities (hunting ,fishing ,boating,hiking,skiing,golf,etc.,etc.,etc.), occasional volunteer litter clean up. Apparently I’m somewhat of a dilettante-lol. Although, I’m not ashamed of it anymore .

Just because cartridges overlap doesn’t mean one overlaps in their collection. Hence why would one care and even seem negative? When I was a kid the elders had a saying: if you don’t have something good to say don’t say it.

I wouldn’t notice for I’ve already been numb from the neck up listening to liberals nonsense for decades.

I can take it, and even like it. I find recoil somewhat therapeutic. Clears my mind.

Hey, whatever floats one’s boat or to each his own. Generally, I’ve rarely concerned myself with what others elect to do. If their actions aren’t affecting me in a negative way,I mind my own affairs and make my own decisions. And by the way , many people are still just wounding game. All the...

I know what you mean. I target shoot a lot more than I hunt. I reload with bullets I plan to use on hunts and use the same for shooting practice. Been reloading with Woodleigh. Getting a bit expensive. The money we spend on our tools and toys can get up there. I might try another approach for...

With all the knit picking on this topic I was wondering when someone would mention having two different projectiles on a hunt. There are varying factors that will come into play for terminal ballistics. All the factors can not be controlled all the time. Things like range, velocity for...

Cup and core bullets have been working just fine for many folks, for many decades. If you can’t fathom that, it is your issue. Quite frankly, their business is none of yours.

I like your choices- very practical. 22lr,30-06,12gauge would cover everything too. However, many gun owners own many more than the aforementioned. Years ago I started with those three . Somehow I have many more than than three- many more than one needs. I’d wager many more folks have done...

Ahhh- it is a problem, the guy just got beat for his money. I find the “not a problem “ phrase we hear from so many youngins these days is totally misused.

Considering the 6.5 Swede has been around since the 1880s, it’s safe to say the gun writers touting the 6.5cm are whores and puppets of the manufacturers. Let’s put it another way. How come so called knowledgeable gun writers just discovered how great the 6.5 is ? Have they been asleep for the...

You stand to gain the fun of owning another gun.

Knowing your quarry can toss you about as if you were a rag doll makes the hunt interesting. Come to think of it, the thought of spear hunting hogs sounds like it would be as much fun. I’ll have to look into it. Happy and safe hunting all.

Can’t wait to own one.

It depends who you ask. I disagree with you. I’ll spare you the details of my opinion.

Although not always readily available, I find 325wsm brass (Nosler & Winchester) easily. Even Bertram is not too difficult to get. They’ve gotten very expensive, but attainable without too much waiting time.

Poor guy. Lucky he survived.

That’s a change for once. Nearly every deluxe rifle model I’ve purchased have been discontinued.I was going to buy an 85 and the same would’ve happened. Now I’ll just wait for the 95. Although that model may not last too long either. It is what it is.

A distinct possibility.

Yup,always a potential issue.

I trudge through rain,snow and sleet with: thoughts about how much proper gun cleaning I’ll need to prevent rust setting in-lol. All kidding aside, at times I’ll throw a wrap over it.

Dang .

I love the 30-30. Both of mine are Marlins, but I understand your love of the Winchester. I do have a Winchester lever in 44magnum though. Really nifty with my 44mag Super Blackhawk revolver. Anyhow, 30-30 is practical cartridge for short range. I still end up grabbing it most of the time for...

Have you any experience with the ABolt mountain titanium? There is a sleeve in the receiver that seems to pose a problem for some when removing a barrel. Are you familiar with this particular issue? I’ve read significant damage can occur if not heated properly before attempting to remove a...

Good quality hunting clothes and boots can be expensive. The great thing about outdoor activities is you don’t have to spend a lot of money on clothes if you don’t want to. It’s actually more practical to use stuff you don’t mind beating up. Personally, I use both. Depends what mood I’m in, more...

lol

It might. But what are the chances of that considering so many can barely boil water nowadays. So don’t hold your breath. lol

Get a grip Gina. Too many things seem to trigger you. I am starting to wonder if you should even be allowed to own a firearm. lol

Nor have I. Not sure why folks claim it’s hard to get. The big negative is that the prices of .325 ammo (cartridges) and components is absurd !

It’s not the first time I put my foot in my mouth nor the last I’d wager.

Maybe it’s time I use another ballistic calculator.

Oops, this was meant as a reply to a statement Bob made.

For the first time I just checked the ballistics in a calculator for 35 Whelen. It has certainly developed a good reputation being enough shooters use it. Ballistics look good and indicate it’s effective. Then again, what cartridge isn’t? Ironically, a 225 grain(Whelen)vs a 220grain(.325wsm)...

Damaging well made boots can be as upsetting as when damaging a rifle. This I know from experience.

I hear ya. One of my shorter barreled Mannlichers is certainly more handy in thick brush. On the other hand I’ve had 26” in thick brush on many occasions with negligible difference. Happy hunting.

26” out in the field is not a big deal. Nowadays so many seem to make it sound like it’s a no no. Lol. Heck years ago many folks went afield with them without a peep.

Even some men don’t react well to recoil. You see posts on various forums by lots of guys saying they hate recoil. Look at the long range guys that want light recoil. Sure it helps to spot their shot , but they always mention light recoil. Especially the ones that sustain physical debilitations...

Sure if you say so. Happy hunting Gina.

Agreed ,right up until the point in time where they start suing for sexual assault, discrimination and equal whatever rights and accommodations-lol. But all kidding aside, the more responsible hunters the better. There are issues for some women when it comes to clothes designed for the female...

I boycott companies that cow tow to leftists

If your an Inuit you’ll use 30-30 (or even less). Non natives will use 30-06,.338..375, 12gauge(and others). But as everywhere else, it’s mixed bag of various cartridges. Personally, I’d make sure I keep one of my 44 magnums strapped on.

Candace Owens is an extremely bright and intelligent American Republican. It pleases me to here her speak and express her philosophies. She has great clarity of thinking and is an expert at interpreting leftist political (and irresponsible) tactics. As Americans we are lucky to have her. Thank...

Ahhh I believe MIS was posting about a build. If an alternative is capable of killing any animal on the planet , I’m sure he should be satisfied with his choice. I wasn’t suggesting he use his choice of the two for anything on the planet. Although I would use it for anything.

It’ll handily kill any animal on the planet when used properly.

Of course they do. It’s not likely the elites of a country are going to have them and theirs storming beaches or advancing toward the next objective. However, you have to figure their ancestors may have made great sacrifices to colonize a land, or to build a nation. So you may have to allow a...

Save up (or just buy) for a Sako85. You’ll likely appreciate it much more.
