HWL

Just bought a Hannibal 500 A Square. Love it, but don’t think it’s for me. Think I shoulda went with my first choice of a 416 Rem Mag

To clarify your confusion, it's a .243 Whelen. LOL

If you decide to sell it, maybe @krish would be interested. I don't think he has one yet.

If you prefer the classics get a 250-3000 savage. Or a 9x56 Mannlicher Schoenauer.

@CoElkHunter
Mate you is gitten sillier the older you're getting.
iIt would be a 6mm 06 or belt less 240 Weatherby.
The Whelen is a Whelen or the tower of power used by God hisselself the great colonel.

@Grumpy gumpy
Don't worry about @CoElkHunter ravings mate he must be off his medication again. He still thinks the 338WM like the 243 is actually useful. I thought when he got his 25-06 he was doing well finally but he must have had a relapse. Probably sniffing H4350 again.. Don't worry he will be fine when he finally gets hisselself a Whelen.

Finally someone is talking sense. Or a 258 Winchester.

Would make a good kids deer gun?

Yes a quarter bore makes a great kids rifle. My first deer was with a 257 Roberts in a No 1.

I’ve got multiple 257 Roberts now, a couple 250-3000 Savages, a 25-06 and a 257 Weatherby. The Weatherby is normally the first gun out of the safe for most anything in the US.

I think the 318WR is pretty unique. You’ve already got it covered with the 7x57 but maybe a .275 Rigby.

My grandson and grandaughter both use my Ruger RSI in 250-3000 for deer. My grandaughter likes it better than her 243. Girl has good sense.

 

[AZDAVE]

@Aaron N Your assumption is in the ball park could be a K less or a LOT more depending on the components chosen. Send me a PM and we can set up a call to talk about your project.

[RayAtkinson]

I can't imagen being without my 250-3000s in a deer and even an elk camp..You have elk and up covered..but your missing the soft voice and mild push of the 250 that kills beyond it ballistic chart..

Thank you very much Bob.

 

[Safari Dave]

You definitely need to fill the gap between the .375 H&H and the 450/400 with a bolt action.

.404 Jeffery
.416 Rigby


It may be more of an action gap than a caliber gap.

 

[wolfhunter]

I would go for the 358 Norma I shoot a 35 whelen AI almost the same. ko its a hammer on game.
