So a .308? Seriously though your rationale makes sense. After seeing rail cars full of heirlooms on GB I've given up on all of the passing down idea's. Even the sparkly ones can be re-barreled and refinished fast so I shoot what I like. I go though 2 or 3 barrels a year and haven't had anything...

Sure thing. 3 friends with failed eco's? Sounds like a curse, the 5.0 is 1.4% more likely to suffer catastrophic failure inside 300k from 2015-2025 than the 3.5 EB. Wax poetic all you like of the 460 or even 454 Chevy, we had a few of both on the farm and spent lots of time towing and hauling...

An Ecoboost has more torque, a wider torque band, engine braking, etc. As for RPM cartridges, I told Adam Weatherby himself the the .338 solved a problem nobody had. This sentiment goes double for the .25. Weatherby is looking for a way to be relevant and they are, but only just barely.

Once I got the Garmin I've been avoiding, the sparklies haven't been out of the safe.

These stories are the reason I haven't gone.. But how many people can say the did a piece in Russian jail?

I'll hunt elephant once I get a much older and a bit fatter and Kankles prevent me from hunting sheep and goats.

Hard no. I did enjoy shooting off one in 2018 in Namibia. Since then I've been heavily into PRS shooting. After making over 1000 shots a year off of wobbly props in contorted positions from 500-1100 yds racing the clock I find it difficult not to laugh at how I viewed marksmanship and how to...

The LRX hits pressure super early and rarely achieves high velocities. Is this a theoretical load that hits 3600? I Used weatherby factory for my comment.

I knew someone would say that, Fudds indeed. 200 measly horsepower, 6 miles to the gallon, more noise than go. And the only way you're holding on hair at 400 is if you're zeroed at 300. The .257 Weatherby is like #934 on the cartridge popularity list for 2025. I'm not saying you can't like it or...

What made Weatherby what it is hasn't been relevant in over 20 years. Nobody is buying extremely overbore magnums. We have rangefinders now, and ballistics/performance of low B.C. bullets get spanked downrange. Pining for Old Weatherby cartridge design is like wanting an old 460 CID Engine...

The 133 Elite hunter and hammer or Barnes LRX loads will carry this, I didn't even know they still made SST's

I'm really looking forward to getting back here someday.

So... You've got some rentals?

Oh, Thank God! I was about to do my civic duty

I'm frustrated that people are interested in "yelling loud enough". They offered it for years, it didn't sell. They never sell, that's why few people make one. While we're ranting how do you jump from a $1700 action to a Ruger American for comparison. Winchesters are not made well enough to...
