What's the next cartridge your looking to add to your collection and what role will it fill?

[Northern Shooter]

What's the next on your list and does it fill in any "gaps" in your collection?

I'm personally leaning toward a 338WM for a moderate thumper that is effective at reaching out beyond the limits of my .308.

A .308 is in the near future for me, well actually my daughter. She's starting to talk favorably about going to Africa in a couple years so I want her to step up to the .308 next year. Can't beat the bullet selection .

7 PRC

No role that I already don’t have 3+ others that will fill it.

Nothing wrong with that lol

I’ve got plans on building a .458wm out of a spare tikka 300wm I picked up to a gun show.

My “gap” lies in between .300WM AND .458Lott.

I picked up a .375H&H and .416Taylor to potentially fill that gap. I’m likely to keep only one of the two. I haven’t shot either this far. Finding ammo for the Taylor is a problem but I’m attracted to a little something different. The .375H&H seems more economical and practical if I were to need ammo while abroad.

375 h and h. To play with dangerous beast s.

458 win Mag. It’ll top things off.

Which Tikka model? That sounds like it would be quite....lively.

Lots of options to choose from there. 323's, 338's, 358's, 375s, 416s, 423s etc.

Did you consider the 416 RemMag when you decided on the Taylor? Im guessing sourcing ammo would be less of a challenge.

That was my latest purchase and my current biggest thumper.

A 30 magnum of some sort…

It won’t fill a gap… I’m covered for everything that walks the earth at this point and everything that flies in the sky… 60+ firearms ranging from .22 long (not LR) to 416 Taylor get all the bases covered..

I just really want another 30 magnum right now

My 7PRC is in the process of being spun up. It is filling the 308 to 375h&h gap. It should fill that role nicely.

 

[Boyd Brooks]

I am also fairly well covered from 30 to 45 caliber stuff. I was thinking about a quarter bore in 257 Roberts, however a 7x61 Sharpe and Hart showed up on my radar this week and now I’m torn.

 

[Nevada Mike]

I’ve ordered a Brux barrel to convert one of my LH M70s to 308 Norma magnum.

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

Collecting a .22 Hornet next week to use on the Tiny 10. Should keep the hides nicely intact on the Common Duiker, Blue Duiker, Steenbuck, Grysbuck etc.

 

[Tra3]

.17 hmr for an R8. I’d like something for small game that has more reach than a .22lr. As I already have a .22lr barrel, I’d like to have 2 small calibers for multiple people to use.

After that, maybe a .404 Jeff, but it is pretty close to the .375.

 

[sgt_zim]

I want a LH 7x57. No particular role to fill, but I already have 4 rifles that fire cartridges that have been around since 1910 or earlier, and I'd just like to add that one to the battery.

 

[Hunt anything]

I would love to get a .22 hornet, my current ceiling is a .416 Rigby, I have 2 and I am contemplating turning the CZ into something bigger but I’m no gunsmith and would need to find some one to help me out and figure out how big I could go.

 

[VertigoBE]

Just added a .500NE to the battery, so between a .270 ruger nr1, a 7x64 bolt action, a 7x65r double, a 300wm bolt action, a 375H&H double, a 416 Rigby bolt action and the 500NE double not many gaps are remaining.

A nice .22 Center fire of sorts or a 5.6x54MS and a .338 might still be in the works. Also have a thing for a nice 9.3x62 bolt action.
