Jeff- I am pretty darn sure they're interlocks then.
That 195 Horn will be a lights out shooter I'm for betting!
Bet it'd be hell on game as well.
My lil "fat bastid" (338 wsm) just shoots big time bug holes with the 200 Horny and so did my OKH and my 340.

You still have the fat bastid, Mark?
I just bought the Hornady's to approximate the ballistics of the 200 TSX. I can't afford, in reality or emotionally, to toss $1 bullets at my steel plates in any quantity! :-) They do seem to shoot, so far. Only taken them up the once and just had 6 of them loaded up... but they shot well.
That said... the Hornady Interlock sure seems to be a reliable bullet from what everyone says. I may have to consider it as an actual game bullet for the .325... deer? Bear? So it'll hold up and exit?
I think JB (Mule Deer) calls them the "poor man's Partition".

"One rifle... one scope...one caliber...one load..."
A tang safety Ruger M77 in 7mm Rem Mag, 160g Grand Slam and a Bushnell Sportview 3x9 was exactly that for me for many years.
The scope is long gone and the Grand Slams, although I have still have some loaded, have been replaced by 160g and 140g North Fork bullets. (Oops, that's two loads. Oh, well, that's the way it is.)
Fortunately it is NOT my only rifle these days.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

For anything except big bears (in a pinch it would kill them, too)M70, 7mm Remington Mag, 160 Bitterroot or Nosler Partition; 4X Leupold.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I was tempted to say the T/C Encore with umpteen barrels. Leagally it would only be one gun. But in the spirit of the question for me it would be my .375 with it's 3X9 Leupold. I currently shoot the 270 gr. Speer BTSP over 70 gr of IMR 4064 in a WW case and ignited by a Fed 215M primer.
If this was truely a one load situation I would change the load to the TSX moving out @ about 2800 fps. It would handle anything on this planet from varmints (you ought to see what the .375 does to prairie dogs) to elephants.

Part of the problem with the topic is that we don't know where this magic rifle, scope,and load are to be used.The 375 is the clear winner globally....
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Thanks for the 'props' on the hat! I recieved that one as a gift and it's made by Twin Enterprise. However, if you google 'Camo Cardinals Hat' there are plenty of other options out there.

You and I must shoot at the same place south of Albany. I am going to start shooting again once the late bow seasons end. I am going to try a few new loads out in the 7MM.

Taverner, maybe! I go up Fisk off Poodle Creek Road, out of Elmira or Noti... you can also get there from the other side of the mtns coming up off Hwy 36 below Triangle Lake. It's a neat informal 100-yard range, two of them actually, in old quarry's. Then, I've got a long-range steel plate course all set up nearby out to 650 yards or so.
The 'stacks are off in the distance, mind you. Probably 25-30 miles away.

Today's answer is this:
If I were going to stick with just one rifle for all of my mule deer, blacktail, elk, whitetail, Coues deer, pronghorn, sheep, goat, moose, grizzly, black bear, feral hog, and African plainsgame hunting for the rest of my career, I'd go with my custom 300 Win. Mag. that's built on a Model 70 action with a light 24" Kreiger bbl., McMillan stock, and a Leica 3.5-10x scope on top - a rig with which I've killed much big game in a number of states and several foreign countries. Load: 180 gr. Nosler Partition Protected Point handloaded to right at 3100 fps. and zeroed for 250 yds., which in my experience has been proven good for everything from Texas whitetails to Cape eland.

How many of you are using a fancy-pants reticle in your scopes? Have not seen that mentioned. I'm transitioning over to the B&C... seems to work fabu!

I have TRIED, LORD, Yea, I HAVE tried!!!!! But, this makes me ill and I can't do it!!! Having ruthlessly pared down my gun collection while buying only two guns this year has been a horrific experience, but, I done �r. Yet, I simply CANNOT part with anything else and still go to gunstores, all too often....but, skipped the two-day gunshow this weekend! If, I HAD to do ti, one of my P-64 Mod. 70 Alaskans, in a synthetic stock with a Zeiss 4x plus QD mounts and "peep-sourdough"irons would be it. The caliber is .338WM, using 250NPs and 250SGKs at 2800. I have an identical P-64 Fwt., .30-06 if this became too heavy or the recoil too harsh....maybe a better over-all choice, anyway. One rifle...GAG!!!!
