So as not to derail a thread on Bobby’s favourite topic I thought I might jump on start another for fun.
So BadBoyMelvin has started a thread on his . 243, nice.My wife has one, that’s nothin against Russ but kinda funny.
@Kiwifire111 helped Russ out because he can and because they have been mates for a while.
Now I’ve met Bob and hunted with Russ. Russell thought I may have known Mal through another forum but I didn’t. I had no idea who he was when he came up on facebook. Anyways we’ve met by FaceTime now.
Well Bob was doing Bob a trash talkin the 2fourty3 again and I find it funny. Wind him up and watch him go I reckon.
Well Bob, well he got up in full flight and reminded us all he’s not a fan of the .243 ahh, I’m not convinced it’s all that bad. But don’t let me stop him putting on a show cause I think it’s funny. But Bob did what Bob does and put in a plug for the .35 Whelen
Anyway as for BAD BOY MELVIN. Bad boy yeah. He has a .425 WhoppemStoppem because like many of our Mexican friends who live south of the border live their Sambar Slayers. They say some like put them down with authority but I like to say Sit them on their ass. Same thing we are talking about stopping Sambar where they are standing. Another Mexican mate has a pest business and is a keen hunter. He uses a big calibre wants them to stay dead because they are often in thick scrub. I haven’t seen Sambar in the wild but they are a big ugly animal that is elusive and it, well it Honks at you. But the good thing is they are made from meat and are considered good eating and there is a lot to chew through just on one animal alone.
I think the .425 is to keep the bad boy rep and street cred as I think I have more bad habits than him. Truth is he looks like a saint alongside me and the only bad habits I have are that I drink and cuss.
Anyway they are a good bunch no matter of their likes, dislikes they have a common interest and a sense of humour.
Raise a toast to the .243win
On another note, Bob when you find this post indulge us with your wisdom, show us your age and give an honest opinion on what sporting cartridges and rifle’s were both popular and common back in the day in Australia.
Please leave .303 post war variants out of the equation. I’m not interested in the very popular .303-25 conversion or other .303 variants I’m talking sporting cartridges that were developed for hunting purposes and had new factory rifles available in the said chamberings.
I have a sneaking suspicion that .222rem and .243win would have been both popular and common in Australia back in the day.
I am inclined to think the popularity of the .308 and .223 popularity came about with the availability of cheap ex military ammo then availability.
