WOW!!! LOL, I always miss the good stuff. And, I have to admit , that years back I bought into the wsm hype and boughttwo of them (yep, two) A featherweight(because I always wanted one) in 300wsm and a SuperShadow(so I wouldnt bang up my pretty featherweight in the mountains,lol) in 7mmwsm. Sold the 7mm after having it only a year...very accurate, but the ammo got scarce when that caliber didnt take off like the others. Had to sell the featherweight earlier this year to pay bills or I would still have it( most accurate weapon I have ever owned..1/2"@100 with 150bst). But since it is gone,it will be replaced with an 06 or 300 win mag. I WAS gettin a little tired of spending 2 dollars plus every time i pulled the trigger. BTW.... I'm only 5'6" @ 140lbs and the recoil of the big loads never bothered me. It's all in what you feel to be comfortable with you!

This had me in tears :party0005:

holy thread resurrection, some serious grave-digging going on here:lolabove::lolabove::lolabove:

plus BM7 is probably working on the next big thing now:s5:

guy was so smart he could tell you what a pound of air weighs:s5:

LOL I found this thread and just had a few great laughs. I love it!

cost of ammo on the WSM's is far more costly and not as availible as .270 .308 & 30.06.roy weatherby had the same theory many years ago and the old calibers still survived and are still more popular than the mags.

Yup did realize that when I posted

There are some states that do not allow the use of slugs for deer hunting, just buckshot. Thats where a 10ga 3-1/2" load would make a 20ga cry. I hunt alot with a 20ga, geese, deer and doves. I shoot it alot in skeet as well. I used to own an Ithaca Big Mag 10ga back in the day of lead and loved it for geese!!!!!!!! Would not have thought any different. Loaded 2oz of copper plated BB's or lead t shot, buffered it and killed geese beyond where a 20ga could even reach!!!!!

I remember my first beer....

But without the .410...what would I keep on my boat to kill large slabs (Halibut)?

LMAO...move along, nothing to see here...LOL

I must really be behind the times. The last three deer I shot: .303 Savage, 6mm Rem., and .22 Savage Hi-Power
