What do non-loonies think? Buy a 30-06 and go hunting...or a 7 mag or 270 or 308. I bought the 30-06 and have hunted with it exclusively for 20 years. I think that makes me a non-looney, doesn't it?

On the other hand, I have a couple of 243s, a 25-06 (still in the works), a 338 WM and a 375 H&H. I take the 243 as a backup on deer and antelope and have had handloads loaded up and ready to test in both the 338 and 375 since early summer but have yet to shoot them. So I have the disease but don't show the symptoms.

I think I'm the Typhoid Mary of the rifle loony world. laugh
