Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Help me decide!!!!

Yup,no practical use for the big magnums.

Handload using a 480 grain Woodleigh SP from my .460 Wby.

Yep

Ken, you are living dangerously.... didn't you hear those Woodleight are too soft..... or was it they will penetrate a herd of buffalo? crap can't keep this stuff straight.
I recommend a Stihl and a Yeti.......

if your a handloader you have plenty cartridges to decide on and maybe if you want a more powerful cartridge the 6.5 Nosler is maybe the answer ? but if your not a handloader and you still want a bigger cartridge tuff to beat a Remington 7mm Magnum ,recoil is not to bad ,ammo is easy to find,ammo is cheaper and it is a very easy cartridge that is very accurate too. good luck with your choice,Pete53

Anywhere anyone mentioned the 6.5 Fudgepack, insert the 6.5 PRC. The PRC wins in every metric and does so with much less of a lisp.

A schit rifle,in a schit chambering,wearing schit bases,schit rings,schit glass,squirting schit boolits and getting the "benefit" of spark plugs pulled from under the hood...won't/can't "teach" anybody,anything. Not that Drooler pics ain't fhuqking HILARIOUS! Hint. Congratulations?!?

I reckon I only have a coupla dozen High RPM 223/223AI's,if'n one counts Krunchentickers(I do). The Vudoo,will see more trigger time and is THE fast track to a first fhuqking clue. Hint.

What are the "odds" of PaulBurnedHARD getting horned up and unleashing her sexual proclivities...the "lucky" kchunt. I'm right at 35yrs,since I shot my first 264 Win Mag(only had a couple) and but not too many days,since whittling away all the loaded 147's for my 264 Twat-Six. Pass the 264 Kreedmire over both,due the reduction in mass,the superior handling,shorter length,less noise,lower ES/SD and mild mannerisms as a whole. I gotta have a GOOD reason to add action length and the PRC ain't it,nor close. Pass the Alpha brass for starters. Hint.

Make mine a Barrett. Now you Window Lickers can say you've "seen" one. Hint.



If only in fairness,I've more than one Vudoo and pardon my being afforded the luxuries,of not being forced to guess. Hint.



Just sayin'.

Thank me later.

Hint.

Laughing!..........................

Hawken fifty, flint.

As of right now I do not hand load. Kids take up all of my free time. But they're getting older, so hand loading may be an option. Just hadn't really considered it. That just makes my choice harder. And Stick, you've piqued my interest with the vudoo. It might be an extra purchase though. Wife thinks I'm in the market for a "big loud one" and I aim to keep her happy!

Swede. Or the Vudoo

You simply GOTTA shoot a Vudoo,to savvy. Words cain't connect them dots!(grin)

While I've a few Annie 54's,the Vudoo(s) STEAL The Show.



Nothing is as satisfying as Precision,coupled with SINISTER Accuracy and the Vudoo is all that and then some. Add zero recoil,modest "noise",copious erector travel,a Skookum etched windshield and you'll blow your own mind,on the first fhuqking outing.

Easy for me to say though,I've got it all and then some.

Hint..........................(grin)

That just SCREAMS 6.5 Creedmoor.

For what you want to do, the Creedmoor is a fine option. Good, long range capable factory ammo abounds as do good accurate factory rifles. Recoil is light. Accuracy is generally very good. Many folks hate it because of its rapid rise to success but it really is a great cartridge that does many things very well.

John

I don't harbor any hatred for the creedmoor. 1 of my kids shoot them. That being said, I've personally seen mixed results on game, so I am a bit hesitant

Thoughts on a Christensen Mesa in .300 PRC?

You’ve got any shooting situation covered already, now you need something that is a classic and fun to shoot. If I had a couple grand to burn I’d look for a model 71 Winchester lever gun, very cool classic killer. If you don’t want to burn the whole pile get a lever in 45-70 or even a ruger #1 in an appropriate caliber that fits your shooting distance needs.

Christensen is straight up Fluff and the 308 PRICK don't do anything for me. It's best pitch,is a 225 ELD at 2810fps,with it's .777 BC drag form. You gotsta' go long action to get there and give up rounds in the belly,increase barrel length,add weight,add noise and add recoil. Pass the 21" 7-08 with a .796BC 180 at 2600fps in a Fieldcraft. Hint.

All things Christensen,suck ass. The Mesa is an ergo Fhuqk Show. Hint.

Hornie 225 PRICK Factory Load:




"Lowly" 7-08:



Guess which one a gent will shoot more,with 35-40grs less powder a poke?!? Hint.(grin)

Don't be in a hurry,to make a bad decision and think boolits FIRST.

Re-hint...............................

I shot the .300 PRC in June at a Hornady / HS Precision sponsored prairie dog hunt. I was seriously impressed. Even people who had never shot long range were hitting steel at 1400 yards.

Well, kind of took sticks advice, ordered a vudoo.....and a Christensen Mesa .300 PRC.....thanks everyone for the input

Guess which one you'll shoot more.
