[double rifle newbie]

577/450 (martini henry)

 

[Saul]

318 WR
350 Rigby No.2
358 Norma Mag
375 2.5” NE
475 NE

 

[Tundra Tiger]

.338 Marlin Express...

 

[steve white]

450 no. 2
Otherwise, exactly what Saul said, especially the 318 WR. He can conservative tastes, maybe we'll make a conservative of him yet, lol.

Can I summarize all of the posts above?

We want long-throated chambers capable of handling heavy-for-caliber bullets at moderate velocities.

In short, almost all the storied cartridges above have the demonstrable evidence of success behind them. Not all upgrades are progress. I don't want anything faster, anything more efficient, and honestly I don't need more accuracy. I need good feed, extraction, a heavy bullet, and a very well constructed projectile.

My list is
.475 AM magnum
.50 - 110 WCF
. 423 mauser
8 bore for rifles
. 50 peace maker

How's the great grandson liking the 9x57. I heard of a shop in Arizona that has original Kynoch 9x57 ammo verified good if he needs some food for it.

He said he found a costume loader that had some but there around 110 a box
He said he was getting a box. And going to try to get it set up for deer season.
But he is bussey. Finishing his masters, applying for a college pd and forest services and doing drill with the guard.
He said he didn’t really care what job he was taking the first one that gave him a spot.
He does have a few stands set up in the swamp though

348 Winchester And the 250gr loading for it

Not so much the caliber as the rifle to shoot it. Magnum length action rifle calibers (especially anything for DG) in a commercially produced Left-Handed bolt action rifle.
