One “Do it All Cartridge” - All of NA

[RAGGED EDGE]

Took me 2 seconds. My Mauser 9.3x62. It will do anything I'll ever ask anywhere on this planet.

Now that I think about it I'd probably lean to a WBY MKV action, I really like building with them and with the eye pieces on many optics the shorter throw really is a boon and their so fluid to run hard, Sako also.

Didn't read all 16 pages of the thread, but if you are entering bear country without a revolver or Glock 10mm strapped to your chest, you are just begging to be a bear snicker's bar...…..

Just built my do everything rifle - 7mm Sherman Max....meets all but #4 above, but i reload so #4 means nothing to me and most. 9lbs w/ Nightforce NX8 4-32x. Carbon Fiber barrel and stock, built by HCA. 180 gr. pills at 3050, and 195 EOLs at 2950.

Under ideal conditions, I'm good to 800....both in accuracy (unless prairie dogs are on the menu), velocity (expansion, and energy (well above the accepted minimum). Though, I much prefer to stay under 600 yards. Hell..... I much prefer under 100 yards! memtb

Whats your load that gets you to 800+, I thought you ran a 375 H&H, I've had to modify 270 TSX in the lathe to get them to open and give better wound channels but I have not found a bullet that I'd be event close to comfortable with beyond about 600 ish, the LRX is close but by 800 it's plowing air too.
My average elk shot over the last 8 years has been between 600&800 yards, then I throw in a 50 yarder every once in a while

.375 AI, 250 TTSX's @3130, from bench - sub 2" 3 shot groups @300 yards, pretty regular....but not every time. I guess I worded that wrong ....if I were "forced" to the cartridge is good to 800....I'm not! memtb

Oh, I missed the AI part, that explains it, I don't think I would be comfortable at 800 with those impact speeds, I don't like dropping below 2200 fps for Barnes and bonded bullets and I'd be at 1700 even at the AI speeds.

I've got an H&H also....retired! memtb

I thought the perimeters was factory cartridge...

#4- must be factory cartridge...

Is the 375 AI factory down South,,, you won't find them up here in the far North

[bigngreen]

An AI chambering is made to function properly with the loaded parent rounds. It falls in the criteria of #4.

 

[Don A Parsons]

Yes,,, my bad,,, i re-read and the AI is good... Ha

 

[Swamplord]

In factory ammo and factory rifle form ?

#1 300 Remington Ultra Magnum in a Remington 700 LSS and 4-16 X Bushnell Elite 4200 riflescope

#2 Ibanez Jem 7 Steve Vai signature guitar



from coyotes to killer whales it is the do-all cartridge with plenty of factory ammo choices for all game nationwide in any hunting scenario
