    Mooseman liked post by ZQLewis On thread : 308 vs 30/06
    Chopping the 308 to 16" seems a waste when you have a 243 and the 44/40. The 243 with a 22" barrel will do everything the 308 short barrel will do and the 44/40 will do the short range bush bunting...

    I'd rather have lots of internal damage and no exit wound than a bullet that will just blow through ribs and out the other side and relies on having to hit heavy mussel or shoulder bone to start to...

    Yes they get hot. My little Sav 99 in 243 I shoot is too hot to touch after 5 shoots so I don't do that as I can only imagine the lose of barrel life that causes. (Silencer may contribute to...

    Reloading for my basic 243's. Dad used variations of the 4350 in 70's and 80'. I've been using H414 / W760 (2 names same powder) for mid range pills. Spherical so it works well in a powder throw....
