[QUOTE="Heavyiron, post: 1592277, member: 95875"] Human nature seems to dictate that the next best gun or caliber is just within reach. After looking a lifetime, i have made full circle, and started using my 270 win and 35 whelen. The long range bug bit me about 30 years or so ago. Not many scopes or the bullets to accomplish my goals then. Now my new challenge after retirement and less spending cash has got me to taking guns off the pawn shop shelf, and getting them to shoot well with good accuracy. Bedding stocks and floating the barrel with good handloads has opened up a new world. Bullets now adays are a lot better than they were 40 years ago. If you can get everything just right (great handloads). A lot of guns that were not keepers now with proper handloading are definitely keepers. Chasing down the next adventure begins in gun magazines and now the internet has opened up the world, to a lot of new calibers, and gun styles. When the 7mm rem mag came out in the 60's, i like a lot of other people believed what they read before chronographs came about. Now with chonographs in just about every reloading room. Now we finally know the truth. Gun writers fan these flames and the next best thing is always just around the next corner. The gun companies love this because it means new sales. Even the old thutty thutty is making a resurgence here in the southeast. Cheap ammo and good guns make this possible. Now adays long range shooting and hunting is more in vogue. Usually an exotic caliber, and bullets get the nod today. I like to see this because a new generation is getting interested in all things guns. [/QUOTE]
