When you realize you can kill everything with one rifle it's kind of like after you have your first virgin.

You're all, "Now what?"

Realizing that the One True Cartridge is either a 308 or a 30-06.

Selling off the others.

Working up several good loads for the One True Cartridge to get the most out of its versatility, but instead of loading them you just keep the components on hand for when you need them.

Standardizing all of your components around a few loads for the One True Cartridge.

Selling or giving away a lot of your gear to people who "need it more."

I shot a 'yote at 750 with my Creed Rugy. I was flingin' 143 grain pills, that's how I roll.

but were you using Alpha glass in mil/mil with a can on the end of the tube? Was it in a stock or a chassis and was your scope mounted on a pic rail?


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Or an amateur. My friend has 6 large gun safes of just ammo and 10 large gun safes full of guns. Mostly Weatherby's and Brownings. He owns 14 different Barrett rifles and 6 50's. A pic of one of his ammo safes is attached.

The guy that has a huge, secured room, with racks of firearms, stacks of ammo, and every weapon has a redundancy backup.

Then you’ve arrived at lunacy.

I can only aspire to that level.

I haven’t achieved the looney status that some have but am looking into reinforcing my sagging floors under the two biggest safes.

Great idea for a Beav award. Rifle loon of the year.

Anything less than a dedicated basement room with a safe door and you're a poseur.

Not Imperial but Unique. I am on my second one. The first one lasted years. So far back I don't remember when I bought it. It's my goal to use the 2nd one before I pass on to that big reloading room in the sky.

A whole lot of troof in what you say there brother..I got a son, daughter and 2 grandsons who are damn well armed...and I am just about back to where I started...'06. The reloading logbook is being updated with serial numbers and model numbers of rifles which have dietary preferences to utilize their full potential. What remains to be decided is what happens to the really old ones, pre 1900, using cast bullets. The level of loonyism required to make them work as designed may be a bridge too far for my offspring.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
