Tangers beat the hell out of me too..........maybe it's just my jackass shaped head. Got a Supergrade M70 and a 700 BDL in .300, much more comfortable to shoot. I thought that I was the only one that had this problem.......

No Man U ain’t the only one. Grin
I’ve told of a particular Tanger I HAD... others said the same thing.
I’ve shot mags for years and up to 375 HH.
If you want the FULL affect of a Ruger Tanger get a
338 WM ! ! !
Worst kickin ‘thang’ I ever shot.
I have a BDL 8mm RM that is pleasant compared to the 338 Tanger.

Jerry The M77 Mk II in .338 WM is just as bad. Beat me senseless and I have a .340 Weatherby and a 375 H&H that I dont mind.

Anyway the caliber that should die is the .43 Egyptian. It doesn't do anything the .43 Spanish doesn't do.

AGREE. The 40 SW hadn’t been out long enuff for me to know exactly what it did. I wanted the new Colt Delta Elite, 10 mm but I got my 6906 - SS 9mm at that time and now WISH I’d gotten the 40. Ding you Gibby, now you got the 40 S&W stirred up in me AGAIN !   Jerry

If another’s choice in cartridges/calibers ever gave me heartburn, I think I’d just take a Midol...  Agreed. Who cares? This is great internet fodder.

338 Win Mag in Ruger tanger was my first rifle at 15 years old.
Shot 2 moose, a Dalls sheep, and a couple Sitka Blacktails with it.
That brings back memories.
It isn't energy that kills, its holes.

Huge magnums in the South.
No, Cletus, you don't need a 300Rum to kill a 100lbs doe at 105yards. This does bug me, especially among the hunters who I know are mainly hunting in the woods. However, I was there once when I really started getting into rifles and deer hunting a little over a decade ago. I've made the effort to learn about ballistics and the capabilities of different rounds. A lot of that has come through reloading. It seems that I know a lot of hunters who have hunted much longer than myself and killed many more deer than I have, that still think big magnums have some kind of magical killing power.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

It all goes back to the small penis, big gun syndrome.

Only when things are oversold...
Like a guy on my trap team that shoots several nice benelli shotguns for target and hunting, but bought a savage apex in 6.5 creedmoor for elk hunting....
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

It all goes back to the small penis, big gun syndrome. I change the size of my gun inversely with the size of my penis. When it's cold, I use a 300 Win Mag. When I'm horny, a .223.

For a caliber, no.
For cartridges? Well, it's more how some use them then the cartridge.
For people? Hell yeah!
For those who use modern versions of older cartridges and proclaim
them revolutionary.
For the old bastards who use the old version and look down on the new.
Basically people who measure their self worth on perception of their
possesions.
And all these people who wouldn't think of using something like a
30-30, but brag up a new round that barely duplicates it.
IDGAF if it is an AR, or your screwy laws won't let you shoot normal
rounds. If it is barely a 30-30, be honest.
"Well, now I have a semi that is similar to Pap's old 30-30. Except
it weighs 9 pounds, is awkward, and ugly as a mud fence".
Or, "This is a legal loophole round that is marginally equal to a 30-30.
If our rule makers weren't idiots I wouldn't touch this
with a 10 foot pole". Funny post and so true. I have a .300 BLK AR and a Marlin .30-30. I love to hunt with the .30-30 (and all my levers from .22LR to .45-70) but no way I want to hunt with the .300BLK. Partly for the reasons you state, although I doubt it weighs 9 pounds, partly because the ergos suck and partly for other reasons. Give me a bolt or lever any day. For SHTF situations, my ARs rule. Can’t think of a modern cartridge I would call ‘revolutionary’ rather than ‘evolutionary’. The last one I can think of was the Gyrojet rocket bullets from the 1960’s. They were also a colossal failure.

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.
