About five years ago, an friend on another website bought a Savage 99 .243, or so he thought. Someone had the barrel rebored to .260. After abortive attempts to shoot some .243 ammo in it (the rebore wasn't re-stamped), we figured out what it was, and he got some proper ammo going, and he went out and killed a deer or two with it. He was happy, I was happy. and the deer were not happy.
I doubt anyone could get him to swap out that rifle for a Creed now. He's a .260 fan..................
As for me, I'll just stick with my old, decrepit, paid-for .270, as it works, too.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
