RE: Are you Fickle?
James B- I love the Win. 32 special and it's a heck of a shooter. It's a great brush gun and in Eastern KY, you rarely have a shot that's not in the brush. I do wish that it was a little more popular, that way I could get a little better selection of ammo.

RE: Are you Fickle?
I am fickle about my ammo but my rifles seem to grow on me. When I first got my Ruger M-77 MKII target in a .220 swift I thought I made a mistake but it is my favorite rifle to shoot and to load for.I choose it for its legendary past. Everyone was saying it will burn out your barrel ,then I started thinking about the 22-250, .223 wssm, why dont they burn out there barrels ? So I stopped worrying and started shooting. Now I am really getting to like my Browning A-Bolt .270wsm I to have always had a .270 of some kind in my safe.

The 220 Swift is one of the very few rifles that I have never owned. I started varmiting with the 222 and have owned several 223 and 22-250 rifles. Now I am back to just the 223 for varmits.

On another site the old favorite deer caliber came up. After thinking it over and reading the responses here, I would have a near impossible time deciding between the 308, 6.5x55 and the 270. These three calibers have accounted for probably 80 percent of the deer that I have taken over the years. The 6.5 followed closely by the 308 and trailing a bit would be the 270.

RE: Are you Fickle?
Is this like a support group or something? Hi, my name is Jeff, and I am "firearm fickle". I am fickle especially when it come to deer cartridges. My current favorite 3 are 300 wsm, 270, and 30/30 (not necessarily in that order), but I also go through spells where all I shoot is my muzzleloader at deer. I have a 308 and 375 H&H that I like as well, but I have never taken either in the woods. I believe that it is the objective of every firearms manufacture to make us fickle. That is how they sell new guns and calibers.
Very good point. It seems to work.
