    I think my cartridge of choice is one I don't have yet: 300NM. My other is one I no longer have: 7mmRM.

    By reputation, a .378 Wby is seriously punishing, not just because of the grunt but also the recoil velocity
    Nothing's punishing with one of Kiwi Greg's Terminator Brakes on it!

    No, display cartridge only. Just showing 57jl that there is a bigger 'non belted' cartridge than a 35 Whelen, besides, I'm not in the market for waiting two years of my life and paying upwards of US$200,000.00 for a Holland and Holland custom double rifle chambered in this caliber, to punch an elephant on the nose. Granted, there are cheaper builds but when you're in this deep, you may as well go the whole hog.

    Really to be honest it's got a be the 12gauge through shear volume
    Sure I'd like to have shot more rifle cartridges but no. Birds and the humble 12 is where it's at

    Think you need to do something about that.

    Have used the 30-06 for the last 15 or so years and has served me well. Going to go .284 shortly and looking forward to getting into the long range side of things.

    And the wallet, when you figure out you can handle a bigger boomstick that costs more per round.

    The limited supply I found via google is

    Depending on the 1000 grain projectile loaded US$50>100.
    Im also picking that they are mostly sold to cartridge collectors and that a tiny percentage of them are actually used for the intended purpose.

    So why is it then that there exist a rare few cartridges that instil admiration amongst hunters totally disproportionate to the rest of the world’s cartridges and their relative position in the ranking of killing power politics? It is probably a combination of things. Cartridges are about balance in usage, effect, ownership and romance. The 9.3mm cartridges and the 9.3 Mauser in particular are not the world’s best in any specific comparison, but when you compare all its attributes to the attributes of other cartridges, it makes it to the podium of disproportionate ability and admiration. It is for that reason exactly that I published a few journals on the 9.3x62 Mauser and dedicated myself to the study and promotion of 9.3mm cartridges. My latest 400+ page 9.3x62 journal with hunting adventures and cartridges is now available on Lulu.com. https://www.lulu.com/en/gb/shop/hend...e=1&pageSize=4

    93x62 is also my favourite, which is why I studied it and published a few journals on it. Latest e-book was just published on Lulu and has over 400 pages and just as many photos. https://www.lulu.com/en/gb/shop/hend...e=1&pageSize=4

    I have to say 280AI is now my favourite. A handloader's dream.

    For big game: .338 Winchester Magnum (with 250 grain bullets).
    For small game: 24 gauge
    There is still gunpowder left, the Grim Reaper can wait.

    17 hmr, 7mm08, 308 win, 7mm rem mag and two 12 gauges. I feel like there is definitely am overlap with the 08 family cartridges I have and both could probably be replaced with a 243...

    Oraybw a complete re jig with 22lr, 223 and maybe a boring old 300wsm to round out the top end

    What is the perfect combo? Can there BE only one?

    Maybe one rimfire, one center fire and one shotgun...for each family member
