Thread: Your cartridge of choice.

Always liked the idea of the 35 Whelen but never could justify one.

Just get a 9.3x62, slightly better, somewhat easier to find and Lapua makes brass.
That's justifiable right there.

Justify and firearms in the same sentence, is extremely oxymoronic.

22
223
6.5-284
6.5x65R
308
300 WSM
9.3x62
44 mag
20 ga
12 ga
All left handed.

Nice to see the 9.3s are well represented

.22
12g
303 Brit
6.5 284
7mm RM

But I am looking for a smaller calibre as all rounder small game calibre. Thinking 22-250

Hi @akaroa1.
What is your left handed .44 mag?
Maybe I do need another rifle after all.
Nice collection by the way.

Left hand 44 is a H&R 44 single shot .... so really more not exclusively right handed, than exclusively left handed.
Very short barrel and Gunworks maximus suppressor and use with sub sonic 240 XTPs .
Accurate and effective to 120 ish on deer.

And I forgot to list !
.32 Special Winchester 1894 ... older than all the rest of them combined !

223, 243, 6.5x55, 7-08, 300saum. .22 & 20gauge

Ive got firearms in Nz and Canada, 7or 8 in each location.
.22, .22 mag, .17 Hrm, .17 hornet, .17 fireball, 20 vartarg, .222, .223, 6x45 (.223), 6x47 rem, 6mm rem, 2506, .260, .264 win. 7x57, 300 H&H, 300 win, .358 win and 9.3x62.
due for a cull out, might just keep, the cooper's and Sakos, and the 358 win & Kimber .260, too many too close in performance,

If I wrote a list of all my guns I'd probably frighten myself and find some I'd forgotten but a 7x33 sako is the most unusual.

@Spudattack if I was to go after the big stuff in Africa I'd love one of those .416 Rigby in a double.
Got to shot one at cans in Arusha. Wow recoil was like a solid push. Shot four rounds and could have easily done ten.
Just lovely. The PH got taken out by poachers not long after I left. Shame nice guy wonder what happened to his guns

Well now, interesting to see what everyone has, certainly some interesting items in there...

Mine...

.17 HMR Lever
.17 Hornet Bolt (For Sale)
.22 LR Lever
.22 LR Semi (For Sale)
.22 WMR Semi
.22-250 Bolt
.243 Bolt
6.5x.284 Bolt
.300 Blaser Mag Bolt
12G Pump

Considering a 6.5x68 RWS Magnum build if I can find a action.
