RE: Why did the .260 Remington not take off as a standard caliber?

Maybe because we americans don't like the metric system? even though we call them by their inch names we all know that a .243 is a 6mm, and .280 is 7mm, and .260 is 6.5mm. only somehow the 7mm mag...

RE: Browning 7mm-08

Don't know about the Browning rifle (never fired one) but I love the 7-08 cartridge. Nice soft recoil, good ballistics, only about 200fps behind the 7mm mag.

Good luck

How about an NEF Handi-Rifle? You can get them for around $200 and then have some $$ left over for a scope. I know that they come in .223 and .243, and maybe .22-250. If all you wanted was a...

RE: cheaper to reload

The .243 should be a little cheaper to reload then the .308 or .30-06, less powder, slightly less $ for bullets.

RE: Hunting pistols

I'm limited to "straight-walled, standard pistol cartriges" in my state, so I have a blackhawk in .45colt. With handloads it can equal the .44mag or use lighter loads for the range.
