You HAVE to try the 6.5x47!!!

Or the 6.5x55 Swede......it is a great cartridge that I think most people overlook.

I LOVE that one!!

If it wasn’t once loaded with black powder it’s not a real cartridge. 30-30 45-70 44-40 38-55 and all the others. My carry gun is a 1851 Navy. I fire six shots and disappear in the smoke.

I got everything you need to feed them things.

At least for hunting, a person could use nothing but 100+ year old cartridges and get the job done. Quite well, actually.

Recently on this site and others I have seen threads about what your favorite caliber is and why. So I read these answers and one of my favorites is .308 win. So another thread starts and everyone loves the 30-30 win and I chime in it is one of my favorites too. This happens all the time for years so I am going to blow your mind, they are all my favorites. I cant name one I think really sucks because they all can get the job done in the hunting end of it. Now benchrest is a sticky wicket and my favorites are 6BR , 6PPC , and 30BR which I need. In the end what ever works for you is cool with me. Can we agree we love them all?

True BUT only accurate guns are interesting

I always wanted an ‘06 so I bought one. Danged gun loosened my teeth. I won’t shoot it again unless I’m working up lite lead bullet loads!

seems like a 30/30 and a 30/06 is really all anybody needs. in fact you know a person could do pretty well with just one or the other. Theres alot of marketing thats been going on over the years to make us "think" we need all these other calibers. Its okay though, Id rather be shooting one of my unnecessary calibers instead of say playing golf ect. Its fine to have a favorite " of the day"

It is funny how fast a change of direction can be! I was all in. Bought brass and dies and powder and made a plan! Then I fired it. OUCH!!!!!!! When did I get old?!?!?!

Sometimes I do think life would be so much easier if I only had 2 or three guns. I just can’t make a decision on which three!

I am not a big fan of anything based off the Hornet case. Ive owned a 22 Hornet and 20 Ackley Hornet. Cool little rounds, but the brass just sucks no matter which way you look at it. So thin. If it wasn’t for the weak brass that needs constant and careful care, I’d like the Hornet rounds.

All other rounds are GTG in my book.
