After that it's .270 then .243 by a margin. I will have a .243AI before too long and hope to retire the .270 for the time being. I can only shoot 30-40 rounds a week and my bum shoulder is acting up. Time to change things a bit so I can shoot more. Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again! Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the 24HCF.

BSA, Didn't Ingwe convince you to sell those awhile back to exclusively use your 270 WCF or do I have you confused with someone else?

The .308 was carried the most because it was a new to me Kimber Montana and I wanted to harvest a deer with it, but unfortunately no shooter bucks were available on the days I had it.

First deer I've missed with that rifle. I guess I'm going to have to put an ivory bead on the front sight. Low light in the swamp is not always easy. The eyes aren't what they were. I carried my 30/06 the most but ended up the season shooting a nice buck with my 44 mag Marlin.

Killed my first deer with my 240Wby this year and I've been shooting the 243Win a good bit lately. Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

When do you get the time to shoot the all? Of the rifles you have what calibers do you shoot the most, be it target shooting or hunting. I have more than 20, but I usually pick one or two rifles to focus on each hunting season. Right now I'm trying to pick which ones I want to load and practice with for the fall. It's kinda like getting a new rifle every year - some of these I haven't shot in a few years, so it like a new one to me

I have maybe 15 rifles but generally only shoot 4: My favorite hunting rifles are chambered for .257 AI & 30-06; my favorite cartridges for shooting are 223 & 6-250. Rifles carry more weight than cartridge in my consideration of a hunting rifle; when shooting its cartridge first.

With a side dose of 280. And if I'm off my meds long enough, the 30-06 comes out. Kaiser Norton The Kaiser- "If it ain't broke, I can fix that!"

"A full dinner pail and no fast 'twists'" The first bill of order would be arming the military with superior munitions; the 5.56x45 would be replaced with the 5.56x47 and concurrent AR's would have a longer receiver and longer OAL magazines....contracts would be issued to both foreign and domestically held companies, with import tariffs if applicable. All presently issued arms and ammunition and components would be sold at discounted rates through the CMP. I will be present to award the President's Cup....
