A 4" spinner plate at 50 yards with a Charter Arms Bulldog 2" barrel 44 Special. I collected the 5$ bet and didnt dare shoot again.

25-06. or for inside work 22 Hornet

I've had to use LRP instead of a Magnum primer many times in 300 WM and many receipts calling for a mag primers in 30 cal,25 and 243. I've seen no difference.

I have 3 Tikkas 300WM,308 Win & 243 Win. All shoot great out of the box, extremely smooth bolt & value priced.Expect 4-5 hundred for a scope. If you reload you can tame the 300WM down to 308 or 30-06 specs. If i could only have one it would be the Tikka in300WM. Shooting 180g Ammo.

Here it's 22Hornet,243,25-06,308 ,300wm

Get good eyes.My scopes seem to cost more than the rifle.....

Id love to have that much room. Very Nice

That's a lot of rounds in any rifle I believe. I find my 243 and my 22 Hornet cover my bases here for yotes in Maine. Not many PD here!

Im with you there on the chucks,the hardest part is choosing what rifle to use. Lately its been the 22 Hornet.

I started in 1985,with a RCBS Rockchucker doing 243 Winchester,today its 19 calibers from 22 Hornet to 338WM and Pistols on a Dillon.

I doubt it it was any shorter than 20"..

If I could only have one scope magnification it would be 4x. I learned more about trajectory and accuracy when that was all I had was a straight 4x. Many years later all my rifles wear glasses. Leupold &Vortex.

Most any bullet will work and kill behind the shoulders but on shoulder or bone ,not so much. That separates the men from boys.

I look at Manuals as a starting point. After selection of Powder & Bullet combo i go directly to looking at pressure & velocity, bolt lift & case observation to see how much powder i got to play with. Then the accuracy game is on.

Pressure first here too. Looking for bolt lift and case contition. Then start the hunt for accuracy eliminating obvious directions. 3 shot groups looking for improvements with powder charge compared to grouping's,I usually find more powder means tighter groups.
