Default Are you Fickle?

OK, I mean how many times has your favorite firearm changed? I have had many guns that really were my favorite at the time but time usually changes the list. Its the same with calibers. Many times I have tried a new caliber and it instantly became my new favorite. I quess guys like me are good for the industry. I quess I will always have a 270 and a 6.5x55. I can't recall not having a 45-70 or a 45 ACP. Most other calibers have come and gone.

I have owned many chamberings but I have been using the 7mmstw since 1990 and the 300ultramag since it became available.I have two customs in each chambering and plan on using them for the rest of my hunting career.

Well good point James. I still see the .45 calibers as what I go to when I want an effective piece. Guess that makes me a fuddy duddy.

My shelf of bullets is dominated by 44 and 45 caliber bullets. There are quite a few boxes of .224. I have owned a bunch 0f 222's, 223's. 22 Hornets and 22-250's. I quess I will always have a 223 as well. I have heard that that makes me super cheap.

Fickle, no, finicky yes! I've always prefered the .308 Winchester.
I like the 7MM RM, but I'm usually reaching for the .308 when it comes time to go hunting!

I have some friends that can't seem to find their calibers that fit them. Maybe they just like change. I prefer the for sure know it like the back of my hand when it comes to making it as painless as possible. I use only three rifles. 22-250, 300 win ,and the ole underated 270win. Tragectory wise they all are shooting less that 5 inches of drop of eachother at 500yds. Darn took all the guess work out of the shooting. Hmmmmmm.

Velocity = ftlbs beyound 300 yds.

“ Are You Fickle?” At one time yes, all I had was my trusty old 7MM RM but since I’ve joined this board I have to try new calibers and equipment...[8D]
