Rick I agree. I think the old-timers fleshed this crap out a long time ago, but the propensity of every rifle nut is to run around in a blind haze trying to learn for himself.... grin

What I find interesting is that as we all run around in different directions we are recycling wildcats that date back to the 50's and 60's,are nothing really new, but do as well as most any of the modern cases,except of course those like the RUM's which are far bigger,but less efficient. Not sure how popular they are.

The Mashburn would have saved us both a pile of money. Had I built it when I was younger, I would have used it everywhere I used a 300 magnum of any sort and with the same results. Even friend Kent D says the same thing.

Africa sounds good. Those herds need to be held in check. smile




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
