I started taking shots at the range yesterday to get ready for deer season. I have a few 30 cal rifles in my battery. So many to choose from and yet I will usually opt for the 06 for our Texas deer.

Here' s the lineup......any guess' s?

*hint* the 300 Savage isnt there but it' s on my " need" list

There isnt nothing like the smell of 120grs of H-5010...AA

wow 5 belted mags....the first one that isnt a belted mag is a 3006 to its right a 308 to its right a 30-30....i dont know about all them belted mags though.....am i close on the 3 i guessed?

hmmm , here it goes , let me know how close i am

.30/30 win.
.308 win.
.30-06 sprg.
.300 win.
.308 norma mag
.300 h&h
.300 weatherby
.30-378 weatherby

well , how close was i ?????

o.k. , i edited it because i wrote the norma mag as a .300 , not a .308 , but , i still stand by my line up which is from right to left

Left to right:
.30-378 Wthby Mag.
.300 Wthby Mag.
.300 H&H
.300 WM
.308 Norma Mag.
.30-06 Sprg.
.308 Win.
.30-30 Win.

Only one I own is the .30-06
Would be nice to have that big of a battery, maybe someday

I' m betting on Charlie Brown.

Well the closest would be Mr. Charlie Brown with a close second to Whelen36( you have the 300 Win and the 308 Norma reversed). Congrats to all!
What can I say other than I am a 30 cal junky among others.

The far left cartridge is actually a wildcat I had built a little over 10 years ago, it' s a 30-378 Wby with a improved 40 degree shoulder.



Thanks for the time[8D] AA

congratulations charlie brown ,

i thought the .308 norma mag , and the .358 norma mag were longer than the .300 win. ooops [&:][&:], looks like i was wrong , darn. [:-] that' s one heck of a collection you' ve got there double a ,
my 30' s are as follow.
.303 savage
.30/30 win.
.300 savage
.308 win.
.30-06 sprg.
.300 rem ultra mag

hope you like em' , BTW- what make of rifle is that norma mag in ???

I like these games.

I must admit that I cheated on the .308 Norma, had to go to a reloading manual to see which was longer.

Whelen36, my 308 Norma is built on a sporterized 1903-A3 Springfield and wears an old Redfield 6x18. Dont know when it was made into that configuration, probably in the mid 60' s.

sounds like a great hunting rig you' ve got there , i' ve always had an interest in those norma mags mainly for the .358 norma , you see , i' ve got a great love or apreciation for the .358 caliber . in those i' ve got a .35 remington , .35 whelen , and a .350 rem. mag. . how do you like your norma , and how much better or worse is it than your others.

charlie , now you shouldn' t of cheated , that wasn' t fair , for punishment you' ll have to give up hunting for a year [&:][&:][&:]. yeah right , wish i' de of thought of doing that,
