Whats the cartridge you LOVE to HATE?

[levers4life]

Ok. Now I hate the 6mm ARC. My buddy brought out his new AR and Savage 110 in 6ARC yesterday. Now I'll have to have one. Dang them for costing me more $

There's a couple best things, about the 22Magnum, Not very loud out of a 24" barrel. They hit at 100 yards like a 22LR at the muzzle, which will drop a market weight steer in his tracks. The 22 mag birdshot rounds, are great on any chipmunk , trying to setup his camp in ur garage,as they leave, very little collateral damages, when deployed.

I love my Marlin bolt action 22 mag with a 6x24 scope I've had for I don't know how many years. It shoots the Hornady 30 gr. , 5 shots at hundred yards into a 3/4 in. group easily. I recently bought a 17 mag Savage 93 bolt action. Like it also. I have a Keltec PMR 30 pistol. 30 rounds of 22 mag. Weighs 1 pound and a 3 pd. trigger. A blast. Have a 22 mag single action and 2 Single action 22 RF and 2 semi auto pistols. I like them all. Fun to shoot and still family cheap to shoot. I've liked the 22 mag since I was 18. I had a Mossberg Chuckster 22 mag bolt action rifle that had a 26 in. barrel. Wished I'd never sold. Did and bought a Rem. 788 in 22-250. My first center fire rifle. I miss the good old days in a lot of things .

Already have a 6PPC, what's the difference between it and a 6ARC?

 

[bultinkle]

6arc is a 6BR resized dimensionally to fit in a small frame AR with affordable factory ammo support

 

[Playtimefun]

Gotta have a 22 Mag. If only because of the history that I know in how others used it. No other reason. Mine is a Browning a-bolt. Fired it and it had a firing pin problem. Sent it back to Browning. They fixed it and I haven't mounted a scope on it yet. Thinking I've owned that gun 25 years lol.

basically just short of a .243 out of an AR-15 platform. You can go hotter in the bolt guns.

The overbore boomers I understand from a time where the average hunter didn't dial for elevation, and have a ballistic calculator to confirm trajectory, windage and impact velocity.

As we have increased our tech and at hand mechanical advantage to better understand what is happening/what to do and our bullets to perform better within planned velocity windows the boomers scales seem to me shifting from a fun necessary evil to wasteful and unneeded. I do understand people like what they like, and obviously there comes a distance when the extra powder is needed for impact velocity, but on average I think dialing elevation is the biggest cut to a ultra mags throat and staying power. Though high bc game bullets may be right there too a 300 win with a 215 makes a 300 run with a partition look a bit silly way out there

Many times I would not have had time for a dope scope. Animals move.

can you give me an example where you didn't have time to turn a turret to a new position?

Easy. We were glassing a nice buck at about 500 yards when a friend spooked an entire sounder of hogs that ran across a meadow at 200 yards. I had a big sow in my scope for about 2-3 seconds.

So you shot the running sow at 200 yards in 2 seconds?

Impressive!

Now, one trick some people do with dialing scopes is to zero at 100 and pre dial to their mpbr. I think that would be a good combo to prevent your scenario being and issue. I think the advantage for long range shooting of dialing instead of hold overs is, to me, far greater than the negatives

 

[scpaul]

I've never dialed a scope. I tape my ballistics to the comb of my stock. And unless someone has a spotter I'd expect them to use a windage guide in the rectitude or Kentucky windage. By the time you do all of the dialing the prey is gone unless you are hunting a beanfield or power/gas line right of way, atleast that's the way it is here.

 

[bultinkle]

i am not talking about dialing for wind, only elevation.

It does not take very long to look at a dope card and turn a knob. Everyone hunts different I guess but I absolutely despise holdovers on long range shots. You've already got a dope card you're reading just spin the turret.

are the other locations actually long range shots though? Because it sounds like you've made asterisks for the long range shots.

 

[scpaul]

Yes, I don't get to shoot the distances that some do so hold over and windage isn't as much of a problem. I pretty well know my ballistics without having to look. I do study the card on the different rifles and different loads before I go to the stand.
