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, though I've only watched them being loaded. Just too cool.

I have to add in the 6.5x52r or 25-35 Winchester

That's not going to get stuck anytime soon.

Remember the end of Beetlejuice where he gets his head shrunk?

Works well in my old drilling.

Bob @Bob Nelson 35Whelen,
I haven’t seen a photo yet of a .35 Whelen or a .35 BNE?

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

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.

There 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.

 

[CJW]

From now on I'm referring to the 30-06 as Little .50.

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.

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 .

I like the diminutive ones and midsize ones that can reach out a skosh.

@rdog
As Gomer Pyle said to sgt Carter. Shame, shame,shame. Why would you use a manbun when you have a perfectly good rifle in the Tikka. You could have got a heavy barrel Howa in the Swede that would probably have shot as well as the manbun or better. My mates Howa Swede shoots itty-bitty groups with ELDX reloads that are comparable and in a lot of cases better than the mabun groups I have seen.
So shame, shame, shame mate.

Oh, very nice wildcat!

I know Weatherby rounds don’t get much love amongst the AH crowd; however, no single round has been more effective for me than the 300 Weatherby Magnum.

Whitetails, wild boars, bison, moose, bears, pronghorn, mule deer, sable, zebra, nyala.

A true workhorse. That double radius shoulder is still as sexy now as when I discovered them as a teen.

Quit messing around with a 9.3x74 and chamber your DR for this:
