Big_Redhead Campfire Tracker Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,950 Michigan	I crave experience with different cartridges, so I hunt deer with different rifles. These currently include 7x57, 45-70, 30-30, 280, 35 Whelen, 375 H&H, 30-06, 308, and 6.5x55. Handguns include 22 LR, 44 mag, and 45 Colt. Next year I hope to include 30 Army (aka 30-40 Krag) as I recently procured a Ruger #3 so chambered. Also have a 35 Rem that has yet to be blooded. So many rifles, so little time. Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.

GuyM Campfire Tracker G Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 5,173 Washington - dry side	Originally Posted by scouttracker I see posts, where some folks will have like 20+ rifles. 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. Target shooting, mostly these: .22 long rifle .223/5.56 AR-15 .308 Win Hunting, last few years mostly: .25-06 .375 H&H I hunt bears with the .375 because it's doggone fun, not because that powerful a rifle is needed. Love that Number One! The .25-06 is my mule deer/pronghorn/coyote rifle, and gets used the most afield. Regards, Guy
