Generally speaking I agree that the reason to have a magnum caliber is to run it up at magnum speeds sometimes. Otherwise why bother. I disagree that it has to be run at 100% throttle 100% of the time. Even if other people refer to it as crippled or neutered. The nice thing about a...

I realized that many people would have this belief and that's why I specifically asked for experience with accuracy with the cartridge at the starting loads listed in most books. Again, I have experience with using an 'underpowered' round, and have personally decided against it. Ethically as a...

perfect info - thanks. I think the 300 win mag will suit my needs well.

300 Win Mag - don't seem to be able to edit the title. I have a 30-06 rifle that is for me the perfect deer and hog rifle. However, it gets claimed by my wife when we hunt together. So then I end up using a .243 with 100gr bullets. Last weekend a large hog (250-275#) walked out and it just...

I've had excellent service from S&w when I had a brass split during firing and lock the gun up. Warne scope rings was also excellent.

I recently got a book on the killing and butchering of animals. It recommended a top-down head shot for most all animals when solely trying to dispatch them. Sometimes where an X would form on a line between the eyes and opposite ears, sometimes eyes to opposite horns (or where they would be)...
