[QUOTE="Accuracyman, post: 2073901, member: 112298"] I find this discussion very amusing. I guess I fall into the old guy category because I started out with a good old 30-06. Hunted with it for several years then migrated to my first custom chambered in 270 Win. Hunted with that for the next several years. Then had to have a 280 Rem and then a 25-06. Hunted with those for years. Then I discovered the short actions and built a 7-08. Loved it and shot it for a few years. Then the 308 came along and loved it. Then kids came along and I dropped down to 6mm BR's and 243's. All were very effective deer slayers if the bullet was placed right. Then the magnum craze hit me and I built a 7mm Rem Mag, then a 300 Win Mag, and then the 338 Win Mag. As I age I find myself going back down to lower recoil cartridges so I built a 6.5 Creed to see what all the rage was about. Love my Creedmoor but then the 6.5 PRC came out and I had to have one.
