Good stable you got there. I have 22-250x2, 220 swiftx2, 260 AIX2, 250-3000, 270 WIN x3, 7MM Mauser, 300 Savage, 308AI, 30-06 x2, 300 H&H which is getting AI'd.....of course there was a terrible boating accident recently

I remember your boating accident. I am pretty sure we have all had boating accidents or dropped our guns down a volcano we were hunting in. Such a shame.

I'm still laughing. "Smokeless powder is a fad!!!" I love it. As some of you know, My favorite Whitetail Deer Rifle is my Weatherby Ultralight in .270 Win, and also my Weatherby Mark V in .270 Weatherby Mag . YES, I have two 30-06 rifles, and YES I have a 300 Weatherby Mag , but on medium sized game, I just Like the .270 Win. with a 130 grn. Ballistic Tips and for the .270 Weath. Mag I use the 150 Grn Accubond LR with lots of H 4831. What is really Great is all the choices we actually have . Although I have no personal Interest in the 6.5 Creedmoor, I think it lead to the development of the 6.5 PRC , and closed the gap between it and the 6.5 X 284. So for the 6.5 Guys, keep up the good work, you almost made a 270 Win. Talk about Fads!!!! Ha ha Ha

I leaned mine up against a tree before crafting a mud volcano and haven't seen it since.

And I presume you lost the rest of your hunting equipment and defensive weapons to a very sneaky burglar that will probably sell all that stuff somewhere south of the border. Venezuela, possibly?

Wish I'd found this Forum earlier. The General Discussion is great and has some excellent info. But this has given my some great laughs! Is it always like this? I sure hope so!!

Mr. Spomer's article was a good comparison piece. Nothing more. Nothing less.

OM Gosh back on course! How did that happen?

First deer rifle at 10 years old was a .30-06, still have it and love it. Went to .25-06 for years for our Coastal Black-Tailed, still have it and love it. Used 6.5 Creed, .264 Win Mag, .308 Win, .338 Win Mag, and now a .338 Lapua Mag., still have them all and love'em!

Don't worry, it won't last long.

I'm not the crumudgeon, there's just always one out there. I shoot a Creedmoor on occasion, and I have a hard time finding hair ties for my man bun.

I would shoot my 30-06 more, but the barrel isn't threaded. I have the Creed because I got a Bergara that was factory threaded and the ballistics are fine for its job. At this point I care more about being suppressed than caliber. A bullet is just a ball of energy, it's my job to put it in the right place. I have everything from a 17HMR to 300 RUM depending on what the energy level needs to be.

Your sarcasim in the earlier section was good. My dad used to make replica arrows and had a guy call up and order something with ridiculous demands. My dad in turn told he wanted to be paid in gold, etc. It was a funny story.

 

[Ward Thurman]

And that's why caliber debates are pointless. Perfection was achieved in 1906 and everything after is just noise. The 30-06 has been, is, and always will be the King.

We own 2 of them - both from the first one.

I once had a junky old VW. I jokingly said to a friend "lock the doors, don't want anyone stealing the gold bars". Some dudes in the parking lot thought I was locking the doors to keep them out and wanted to fight us for prejudging them. Sarcasm is a fun tool, but can backfire sometimes
