Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game One gun,one load for the rest of your life!!!

I guess mine would be my MK II 7X57 with the Sierra 175 BTSP ahead of 44 gr H-414.
How 'bout you guys?

an AR in 223 with ball... cause if i'm only allowed one then the [bleep] just hit the fan.............

Rem 700 TI in .308 win pumping out 165 grain TSX's.............Oh wait! thats what I shoot now.

I am going to assume you mean one big game rifle and one load for the rest of my life. If that was the intent of the question, then I will probably say a .30-06 with a 180 grain partition. I don't have a .30-06 that I presently hunt with, but noone can say it isn't sufficient game caliber. Partitions have earned a reputation that is as reliable as the old "Rare, naught six".

Actually I need two cartridge choices.....the other is a SS Rem 700 in .264 win mag shooting 120 grain TSX's.

couldn't do it... sorry.

Rem M7 .308 with 150TSX, or Tikka .270 with a 130TSX, anything under 1000 pounds gets one through the boiler room, anything over 1000 gets one in the ear.

I could live with the 7mm Mauser. I need to think about the rest.

I thought about it,, why would you limit yourself to one?

As finicky as my 7 Wby has been it would be the Swift 140 A Frame at 3230 fps.

Don't get me wrong here,I love my AR-15's,my 1911's my Hornet,and my 257 Robert's.
Just askin.

Aleady have the .06 with 220gr RN Sierra.I have enough loaded to last the rest of my hunting career

If I had to give it all up I'd keep my custom M70 .30-06 shooting the 180 grain Partition and go hunt everything.

That right there, is funny.....

i try...grins

Since I still want to hunt a few more things in Africa, it would have to be my Mod 70 375 H&H. and 300 grain Swifts or 270 TSXs.

But if only planning to hunt N.A. then probably a 338 I recently bought that seems to shoot everything well and would do from bear to coyote. Probably settle on a 210 TSX load of some description

Then still again, I might just join Paul with an M4gery and a boat load of 5.56.

My .300 Supermagnum (wildcat) is good for everything on this continent. I shoot 180 gn Nosler partitions ove 84.5 grains of H4831 at 3200 +/- 15 FPS.

One gun, one load for the rest of my life? Thats not going to happen.

I basically went the "one gun, one load" for the first 20 years I big game hunted.

No thanks - I much prefer having more toys.

Abolt (I know, not a real rifle) 30.06, 55grains H414 and Hornady 165btsp's. Well, I may exchange the Abolt for a cooper if I actually get up the gumption to pull the trigger and order one.
