Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers calibers considered big bore

[quote=pete53] no I`d be the corvette you guys would be a old beat up slow dump truck or horse and buggie, and as myself and many precision handloaders say : speed kills !. oh I get it you guys want to load for what some feel are big bore guns and that's fine,but when I elk hunt or deer hunt with my handloads I plan on kill`n that animal I shoot at on 1st shot out 500 yards ,I have done it many times too and even at longer distances.but now days if I am on hunt that animals are really a long ways out then its time for my custom 338 lapua which some feel still is not a big bore. and that`s funny ! you guys kinda act and post like some of the traditional archers on archery talk,maybe you guys should all hunt out of a horse and buggie too?[/quote[/]

My 338-06 AI same bore diameter definitely won't hang with your Lapua but it's not a big bore not even close ! 33 cal NEVER was and never will be ! With all your posted experience I find it strange you still don't get it .. So since my 338 is a tad puny compared to your's is it still a big bore ??
