I am still trying to figure out why you need to go UP to a 6mm bullet. Maybe when I run out of .224 and .228 bullets.

Mornin' B, greetings from Texas and the Petting Zoo. Long time....... Always nice to hear your words of wit, wisdom and encourgement. No deer in the front yard today, but recently, have had road runners coming out of the wood-work . Oh yeah, jest fer schitz n' giggles. Just as not ever-body tosses rifles into streams and pond, not ever-body squirts 200 grainers at 3,400 fps. (hint) Seems impact velocities @ 2,800 fps and below don't tend to tear up as much meat. But what the hey, I guess if your shootin' paper at a fur' piece, velocity is yo' friend. Quien Sabe as the Messicans say. Best, GWB

[quote=ltppowell]Other than you are a one gun man with a bigger caliber, why would you ever feel the need to use anything bigger than a .243 Win for whitetail?
[/quote
Northern white tail might be a bit bigger than your Texas bucks I have seen bucks as big as a spike elk. And as much as I hate to say smoke pole is right, it's because I can. Lmfao Happy Independence Day gentleman.

g, Only a fhuqking Texan is stupid enough to crawl way up the relative case capacity ladder,only to yank plug wires loose from same and get giddy about cramming schitty bullets into it,so as to "bolster" terminal Affects and "add" Tablefare. VERY much enjoyed the notion,that you deem such incredible Dumbfhuqkery as a well "thought" plan! Your Imagination and it's Pretend are working in double overtime. Congratulations?!? The NBT can't begin to hang with a Skinner or any X in either facet. Pardon my being afforded the luxury,of not being forced to guess. Hint. A rifle that won't take a lick,is as useless as schit bullets and you've the corner on both avenues. Re-Congratulations?!? I'll feign my "surprise" that you didn't wax eloquent on Textucky Windage and the sweet "satisfactions" of being slathered in that Dumbfhuqkery too. Mebbe next time?!? Laughing! Fairly impressive,that you botched all camera settings too,up to and including focus. You're on fire! Laughing! I'm crying I'm laughing soooooooooooo fhuqking hard...because we all KNOW you are doing your "best". You are always gonna do better,by simply shutting the fhuqk up,taking notes and applying same,as it will reliably help your game. Thank me later. Hint. Boolits don't come in a large enough diameter to fend Stupidity and the gent with a .224" clue...will reliably trump a Texan with a Boomer. Hint. Fhuqking WOW +P+....................... 'nut, This is American. Hint. You make a good point,in that Texans shouldn't be in such a hurry to field more rifle than they can handle,even with pulled plug wires and a fhuqking loudener installed,to make sure that schit bullets don't go where they's intended. Purty easy to launch boolits of repute and have finite control of POI/POA intersections,as opposed to whirling Ping Pong Ball Flinches and Textucky Windage,as CNS Insertion Medicine wellllll beyond a zero range of a grossly compromised platform and it's addled operator. Though in fairness,SAAMI 7-08 fueled 162A-Max at 2700fps in a 22" spout,really do shoot themselves and it IS cheatin'. Legendary insight. Laughing!.................. 'wall, Cheer up...270 Virgin's make great false shoulders for 6-06 Maiden Voyages. Hint................

243 with 80 gr. TTSX works fine on pigs and deer in my experience. On pigs I prefer placement at the base of the ear. But for consideration, here is a heart and lung remnant after a shot by my young nephew with the 80 grain TTSX, with a through and through wound. It took a few steps and tipped over. He and his brothers did the paint job on the stock.

GeeDubya,
You ought not be murderin' them turkeys with a rifle. Give 'em a sporting chance and use a shotgun.

G-Dub murdered that turkey with REAL class! Don't fault him! IMO one of the finest rifles ever built! Bofors!
Loved a 243 so much I finally settled on a 22" 6mm Rem. I'm another that loves the 300 Savage in a Mdl 7 action, and since most of my shooting is done under 100, I do love a bolt 35 Rem!
243 is perfect for TX!

g',
You'd do well for the FIRST time in your "life",to simply procure a sound rifle of repute,that is twisted,throated and chambered to task...then learn how to use same. You've obliviously reiterated the long known FACT,that proficiency cannot be purchased.
Good time to read that again.
Boomerism is very reliably a crutch,espoused by the Clueless,as factored by their Cluelessness. It's the rarest of breeds,that can handle a Boomer and work Magic with same and I just so happen to be the best I've ever seen. The sole reason I'm great with 'em,is because back in The Day LRF's didn't exist and that coincidence 'finders sucked ass...is no fhuqking coincidence. So the best(only) way to hedge a bet,was to add horsepressure and dat's firmly Boomer Territory. Bullets weren't nearly as good either and them constants often collided,as I've splashed more than a few on Critters. So I reckon bullets have made a far greater fhuqk to me,for a farrrrrr greater period of time,than most anyone else. I wore out the rifles,spouts and spilled the blood requisite to garner the skillset.
I get it,that you are like a Raccoon,in that anything that's shiny...is good enough for your Lady Fingers to grasp. Aesthetics have less than ZERO fhuqking bearing upon mechanics and them polar opposites,do reliably arrange hilarity! Fretting a shiny piece of fhuqking schit,DEFINES hilarity. Bless your heart.
Bullets matter farrrrrrrrr more than headstamps and you'll never shoot enough,to have an inkling to the magnitude of that fact. Nor will you ever savvy the relationship of POA/POI and how amazingly easy it is to have finite control over. I get a kick outta you Slob Hunters,as you barely fhuqking get by inside the fence,offa the Padded Perch,beneath the fhuqking Food Sprinkler. What a fhuqking riot!
Dealing Clean Death,is the easiest facet of ANY Heartbeat Stoppage,to have total control over. That control is only granted by melding of the Terminal Trifecta(1: Placement,2: Projectile Selection,3: Headstamp)and you've routinely field sooooooooo fhuqking many disconnects,that you are a never ending Train Wreck of how NOT to do schit. Bless your heart.
You are farrrrrrrrrrr better off,as are the Victims...by wielding a 223 you could reliably operate at 80% of it's inherent potential,than a Boomer at 20% of same. Read that again,now one more time slooooowwwwwwlllllly. Hint.
BEST part is,you've zero gawddamned fhuqking inkling,how amazingly fhuqking stupid you are!
Good talk.
Laughing!................
'bird,
A guy makes his own "luck" and a sound 243Win with good bullets,is a fhuqking Luck FACTORY...............(grin)
'Mc,
Talk a leetle more about the 22" 6mm. Action? COAL? Twist? Throat? Bullets? Speeds? Precision?
Sevens share 600/722/700 mag confines and I hear good thangs about 155 Skinners launched ala 308 in same. Mainly due their blend of BC/Terminal Affects,to the Precision Quotient and modest relative recoil in an OEM box.
Great bullets aren't at a "disadvantage" anywhere.
Hint....................

B’ Your remarks about deliverin’ clean death got me to thinking, other than a couple o’ bucks from 8 to 10 years back and rifles layin’ in a pond next to some dead fish, I don’t recall seeing much death being delivered other than that with which you administer to American English. And, what the hey, I’ll be the first to admit I like bright shiny toys!!! Especially when they are purchased at good value And shoot like this 3 @ 100 yds. 3 200 yds. How bout a 6.5 Leopard,(6.5-300 WSM) smithed by Bo Clerke of Raton New Mexico. Winchester CRF blueprinted action, Broughton 8 twist barrel, Bansner Stock. Does as well on flesh as it does on paper 100 yds. [img]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/group%20pix/IMG_0210_zpsa0bc9268.jpg[/img] 200 yds. [img]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/group%20pix/IMG_0202_zps698067da.jpg[/img] oh yeah, may have time for one more shiny toy! [img]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/latestgunstuff/IMG_13261_zpse4ac1bb2.jpg[/img]Remington 700 Custom KS, re-barreled and chambered for the 300 H&H, and accurized at Hill Country Rife, purchased pre-enjoyed of course, rattle-can paint job added by me at no charge. this one shoots pretty fair also with 180 gr. TSX's........ [img]http://i38.photobucket.com/alb...-a5ec-5a526c725698_zpsb646d4b9.jpg[/img]Anywho, ain't heard nary' a word of complainin' from the porkers I perforate. JAPPFT, GWB PS: Oh, yeah, speaking of 7mm-08s, well, out of room here, but remind me to show ya' some of my 7mm-08's at the next opportunity. They will give ya' a woody. PPS: Like they say at Waffle House........ See ya' tomorrow! LOL

I'm a big fan of the 7mm-08, I wouldn't mind seeing some.

I like the looks of the pocket pouch. I do see a problem in your photos. Being a 4.5 back pocket not crammed in one. Speaking of shinny the hamon in nothing but first class

Stick,
Have you run the 150 ScenarL through its paces in the 7-08? Just bought a passel and thought they'd be a good one...

geedubya: don't let them give you schitt about the turkey/rifle thing. My God I thought it was more sporting to fling a single projectile at their tennis ball heads than a swarm of shot! Hitting one on the noggin with a rifle isn't rocket surgery....
Shooting one in the face with a shotgun hardly seems fair at all...
