Ours aren't that aggressive down here - a 458WM is enough to handle them

Unless you can build a 358 Win that is one inch shorter and the same weight (not counting loaded mag):

Bet that extended mag is just the ticket for that thick stuff where you get one shot. LOL

700 BDL in 6mm, 2-7x Leupold junker.

Works just fine on our Midwest whitetails. Hell on coyotes too but none killed wit it in the last 5 years or so since i am back to using 20 and 22 caliber cartridges for em.

Been using a 95 grain Partition for the last few years but really cant see that it works any better than the 85 grain Sierra SP, or any of the 100 grain SP stuff I have used over the years.

260 Rem has been used 95% of the time since 03. But, I have a 358 Win that I just got built, so I am pretty sure the 260 will get used less, unless I loan it out to a kid. Yea, who needs a 358 for Pa whitetail, but ought to be fun. For a few years I used a 45-70 with 420 grain cast bullets at 1500 Fps. That was fun to!


......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.

Green County in Oklahoma-Winchester M-70 Classic, blue with ugly grey unknown synthetic stock, Khales 3x9 scope w/German #4, 30.06. My shots can be nearly contact range to beyond 400 yards depending on whether I hunt a small wooded parcel behind a friend's house, watch a creek crossing on my lease or hunt bean or winter wheat fields on a friends farm. The later can be shots to and a bit beyond 400 yards. The only ammo I have ever used on critters is factory Hornady 165 grain Interbonds. I have killed hogs, turkeys, antelope, coyotes, bobcats and a truck load of deer with this gun.

Neither. Was aiming about 8" farther forward for a DRT high shoulder shot. He started to walk just as I tripped the trigger.

This is an issue that I have with the “extreme long range” crowd that contends that this doesn’t happen! And if” the animal moves, it’s the shooters fault for the bad shot placement.....as the hunter was supposed to “read the animals mind”! memtb

I get what you are saying. He was at the long range of about 25 yards. There could have been a bobble at the same time as I had to twist to my right to get him killed. Total time from when I saw him until I had a bullet in him may have been 5 seconds.

The vast majority of my hunting is in the Northeast. There are a few I really enjoy carrying the last few years including some '50s Savage 99F Featherweights in 308 and 250 Sav or a couple of Kimber Montanas in 7-08 and 257 Rob, just because they're all so light and handy.

But, the last one to go would be, Ol' Reliable, the Rem 742 '06 my dad gave me for my 15th Christmas. It has put a lot of game on the table since then. I've refinished the stock and retired it. But, if I was down to just one gun, that old girl is going back to work!

And for the record, despite their reputation, neither mine nor my dad's has ever jammed or had any other hiccups.

My region includes Nv., Id.,Wy. and Mt. from desert to alpine. Currently my Tikka T3 Lite 308w w/ a SS 3-9 HD is always around. I can,t say I wouldn't get rid of it, I fondled a Tikka T3x Superlight in 6.5 C yesterday and was tempted. Tikka did a good job w/ those rifles. I will keep the SS scope however, it really works as advertised.
