[QUOTE="gr8whyt, post: 462785, member: 28526"] Just because someone wants to shoot a cartridge that is decades old like an Ackley (or for that matter Roy Weatherby's favorite .257 Wby - circa 1944) doesn't make them a dinosaur. Lots of sheep are following the siren song of the short magnums. Still more are shooting very heavy bullets in impossibly large cases like the 338 RUM, or the like, needing muzzle brakes to keep them from causing permanent damage to themselves. Want some real fun? Unscrew that brake and spin a few rounds down the pipe of that Ultra-ultra Mag. Now that's FUN! Just yesterday fiftydriver said he had built two new reamers for new cartridges based on the 50BMG shooting 45 and 416 caliber bullets (IIRC). Certainly interesting stuff, but it isn't for my tastes. Yep, times are a changing! Still I believe at least one or two major manufacturers are this year chambering new rifles in .300 H&H. Boy, wait till the kids get a look at that thing. Talk about old school! Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. So, call me a dinosaur. Beats being a sheep. -- gr8whyt [/QUOTE]
