Didn't Oswald use a lightweight bolt action 6.5mm Carcano - not even with long range VLD bullets - round noses!

Now, maybe time to ship some police paperwork to car dealerships..... WHY do you NEED a car with over 125hp engine?

I think that all those people being king hit/sucker punched by strangers for no reason would have avoided having their brains bashed in if the senseless and totally unnecessary sport of boxing was banned and all gloves and bags registered.

Yes. Shooting is a non violent non contact sport. Ban contact sports!!!

This post makes me upset. I now have another f%$#in bill coming as apparently 300 winmag is not powerful enough. I need to get another rifle.

Been reflecting. I'd say compassion for animals' suffering is one good reason for to use a .338LM - even if you usually take them at <<1500m.

And there is no 'overkill' possible when talking of one animal.

There are those among us that would particularly agree with certain creatures.

Or bring back old school real fly spray. You know the stuff: After you sprayed a room you had to keep pets and small children out of it for 2 to 3 hours.....None of this hyoallergenic smell nice stuf that just gives the fly's a high.

Funds are absent, Anyone want to buy a used wife? car? kids? neighbours cattle? whatever?

Having never shot a camel I can't write from experience. So forgive me if I am wrong this is only guessing: "When you first start into them you can pick off the dopey ones up close with a 308 then as they start to wise up you need a 300 mag, and later to get the really crafty sneaky ones that are impossible to get within normal 300 range of, you need a 408, (officer)".

...helicopter.

oops.... wrong quote. but that would work too I guess!

i give up.

I wonder how 4AW Mark and Sam get on. They're in WA and shoot a multitude of "very powerful firearms"
Must be a way around these things because they shoot at least half a dozen rifles including a 50 cal that are more powerful than 300 win mag.
Let's pray this doesn't happen over here!!!!

They have a funny system in WA.
You first purchase the rifle and then apply for the permit or something along those lines.
There was a 338 in the shop in Kalgoorlie last time I passed through and the owner was getting the run around trying to demonstrate their case for ownership and application.
Retarded process there.
