    Apparently they're pretty brutal but more of a heave.
    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!

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

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

    Think you need to do something about that.

    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

    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.

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

    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
