I do enjoy that stupid [bleep]'s Imagination,almost as much as she does.(grin)
Was suplized the 54 Faux MSR was still zeroed dead nuts on,after having been airborne so many times yesterday. Yerked the POS Hummer apart this morning,to tweak the trigger a smidge and just got done shooting come-ups with it and the 17gr CCI Flying Ashtrays. Re-confirmed 77/22 K-Hornet Fire Form zero and all is well.
Will go fling some 162's here in a bit.

Have had many favorites over the years. Current favorites in use now are the 223 and the 8x68S.

'Photog,
More toast...from minutes ago.
8" Bart',243AI,308 Lapooie Virgins sized for positive headspace,87'Max kiss and enough Oooomph to form nicely.
First load tried and it'll keep 'em touching at 100.
Most,if not all of which,will fly over pointy heads and tinfoil hats,which is of course the best part.(grin)
Hey now, it'll confuse pointy heads if your actually gonna USE the good stuff�.grins.

"what is your favorite cartridge?"
Yes. The real correct answer. Minus the .270, of course. Sorry, Bob. 
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

I don't know why anyone would hate the 308 Win; it is one of my favorite cartridges.
For hunting deer out to 300 yards it great. They tend to be very accurate and easy to load as well!

Why Mike? In my very limited experience with the 243 (3 whitestails) it seemed to kill them as dead as anything else I've shot'em with....But like I said it's only 3 deer, not much to gauge it by.

Probably the 7mm-08, which is odd, because I've only been using it for a few years. The same could be said of the 260.
Now with even more aplomb

The 7mm-08 is an unsung hero! Here is my baby girl practicing with hers. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/378fan/IMG_20130602_111635_676_zpsf08d94a3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/378fan/IMG_20130602_135304_599_zps6bc5c65d.jpg)

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
