   Oh, forgot to add - I think shopping for a gun and cartridge today is a bit like shopping for a handbag ............. and the manufacturers know it. Weatherby certainly knew it back in the day...

   It just comes down to what you like I suppose - I've had 7mm Rem mag, .280, .270 and I've fired a bunch of others - and some gave me more recoil than I was comfortable with, and the 7x57 never did...

   I’ll put my hand up for one. Even though I posses a rifle in said caliber, you would have to add the .260Rem. Like many others, it’s only handloading keeping it alive given the scarcity of factory...

   Maybe. But I shoot a modern 303. Also for break open or single shot rifles, rimmed cartridges like those work very well. With modern rifles made in the calibres, more modern performance can be...

   Was going to get 7mm08 ended up with a 308 due to more ammo around for it.

   My experience with the Caples in the early 70’s was the same - many deer wandering around in the open in broad daylight and would have definitely seen me. Changed days now eh?

    Everyone should write a story on their life, including family history, for their children and grandkids. So many things to tell them and it’s too late once your gone,
