The whole Creedmore derangement syndrome is just a bunch of camp hazing teasing that got out of hand. Surely no one thinks that it is inferior to the Swede. Anything 8mm has struggled to gain traction in the US, but that doesn't mean it's not a great caliber, well proven in Europe.

When you get into true long range shooting, different rules apply--mid range calibers quickly become too rainbow arced. Nobody wants to aim with the angle of a howitzer, and ranging becomes too critical if crippling hits/misses are to be avoided.

It outperformed the 300 Win mag in at least one measurement--it is short enough to allow longer bullets in the Tikka T3C without compressing the bullet into the powder as much. Tikkas have the same detachable mag which can be unforgiving in that regard.

I agree whole-heartedly on the RWS recommendation for longevity, but where to find.... I meticulously measure for incipient case head separation and reject anything even suspect in that regard. RWS gave far more loadings than Norma, if you can believe it. Strangely, the only split necks I've...

todd fall was a dependable seller. Got some 375 bullets from him fast and reasonable in price.

Might as well add the 30 Remington

Were they willing/able to sell it over the phone? Otherwise, first one to the door.

Don't forget the lowly .22 we all grew up with.

Now, now, gentlemen

Well said!

Well, the .22 long has been around too long, not serving any really good purpose. Doubt if anyone wants an old 303 Savage unless someone has an old gun in Canada. Most stuff was made to fill a niche, and we all need our niches filled. I'm not knocking anyone's gun. In fact I only ask that you...

yep, we're a bunch of pesky recidivists.

I might have implied forced opening but what I can tell you is that you could not dump the two shells, fired or unfired without opening it a tad more, and it took the buttstock under the arm to hold it while you put in two more shells.

I would still kill rats and say they had bad karma catching up to them, lol. Then again, there is a caste of the rat catchers, so due to agricultural/economic concerns there is already action being taken. On a more Germain note, I wonder if darting tigers could be given a try?

Yeah, but they ARE performers. Probably would all actually work on the walking dead if your name was Daryl. The 358 Norma never made it but sure should have!
