THE BEST RIFLE FOR WESTERN HUNTIN’

C'mon Marcus . . . if you are not going to spill the beans . . . I will . . . we know that you keep pulling weapons out of the police's confiscated weapons locker and posting their pictures.  Shame on you.

Korey, do I sense a doubt in NH_Hunter's questions?  I wouldn't post those pictures if I were you.  It will ruin your image . . . LOL!  If NH_Hunter wants to know what a REAL .30-06 looks like [spell that Non-Ruger] . . . he can go to Legacy Sports website and pick up a picture of my Howa.

Still in shock over seeing DFC's picture.  Guess I better go back to work and maybe it will wear off!

1....2....3....4...5...6...7...8...9...10. U oh not feeling better! 11...12...13...14...15...16...17...18...19...20... Hmmm not working yet... 21...22...23...24...25...26...27...28...29...30... hmmm starting to feel better. Now Pocketnavy, i would really like to see your walmart gun go up against my Ruger. I wouldnt be the shooter of my Ruger though, because i havent shot it yet! But anyways, i am still trying to figure out why you enjoy making people mad? Is it because of your own personal flaws way in the back of your head that you try to take out your anger on others because of them?

Interesting, LAWDOG.  Guess it's time for those that spoke the strongest against the WBY claim to ante up and disprove it.  >>  klallen

That sounds like good clean fun. Kind of like the New Hampshire lottery!

OK, SS.  I think an explaination is in order here.  There seems to be some inconsistency in your last posts.  Trying to make a point on the difficulty of accurately shooting a magnum, you comment :

"Fact remains that given the spectum of folks and their shooting abilities more of "us" can master shooting the 06, then can master the Super Mag's"

Here you seem to be throwing yourself in with the group of folks that have a hard time mastering magnums.  Nothing offensive about that and I admire your honesty.  But in your next post, you write :

"Guess "I'm" just sick an tired of sightin in magnums fer folks who cain't shoot more than 4 rounds throught them.  THEY WILL NEVER SHOOT THAT GUN RIGHT. (period)"

You say this as if you're the guy that everyone's coming to ta sight in their magnums.  I guess it begs the question, if by your own admission, you are one of the fellas having trouble mastering magnums, why are folks coming to you to sight their magnums in?  Just curious.  >>  klallen

In the old days there were wooden ships and iron men, now we have iron ships and wooden men.

You serious with that last post, SS?  Cause thinking back on your history here at BSB's, you're all of a sudden speaking a whole different tune then you ever have.

To further the oddity that is you, I don't think I've ever run into someone who claims to be so experienced and accomplished with magnums and their reloading, yet so strongly advises all who will listen against them.  Usually it's quite the opposite.  Those proficient with magnums fully understand what they have.  Rather than discouraging folks, they tend to try, by all means possible, to enourage and teach those wanting to experience the increased performance how it can accurately be accomplished.  I've seen none of this from you.  Ever.  Only complaint and criticism about the topic.  Makes me wonder   ...

However, giving you the benefit of the doubt, if you are actually reloading magnums for some of these poor souls, here's something to consider.  You're only doing half the job.  Loading for them and sending them on there way, then coming back here and bitching about it isn't doing anyone any good.  Take the next step and teach them how to shoot the magnum.

"I'm a victim of my own sucess"

I'm starting to think you're a victim of something alright.  What?  I'm not entirely sure.  But I figure it will surface sooner or later.  >>  klallen 

KL,

   Read what I'm writin and not what yer thinkin I'm sayin'.

1)  Mag's are required fer dangerous game.

2)  Mag's are Optional (not required) on non-dangerous North American Game.

3)  On average more folks shooting a STW, will have problems then those shootin a 308.  Could be flinching, or just not shootin it enough to get use to it, this does happen with non-mag's but not as much.  Good shooters know how to shoot in all situations, not just from the bench. 

4)  Take it Down Straight (energy). - Wouldn't feel right takin a deer with a 223, although it's been done.  When I shoot something that has recoil due to a good amount of energy moving a large chunk of lead I know she's goin down tight.  35 drops them in their tracks, period.  And you know if from the bite on yer end.

5)  Mass vs. Distance -  I'd rather use that bite on my shoulder to get more lead going 2400 to 2700 fps, than gettin a lighter peice movin 3000+.  You can't make up fer mass.  I can however make up for distance.

6)  Percision shootin and natural shootin, are the only two I believe in.  Percision means LR, and exact shot placement.  Natural means you know the gun, round, and your reflexes enough to pull off tough shoots when you have to (like on a wounded runnin critter).

7)  We're all different, just cause one guy is good a somethin, don't mean everyone else is.  Let folks use their strenghts in life, and hunting.  Seek to understand, and remember we are one of  the good guy's. 

That's it KL, I wasn't kiddin about the shootin togehter, was about the competin, but I love shootin.  Just cause I don't advicate hunting with super mag's don't mean I don't get a kick out of shootin them now an again, or think thet you can't shoot them well.

 KL,

   Good enough, #7 was a reminder to both of us.

 I try not condemin folks too much when I don't understand what and why their doing what their doin.  Of course this don't mean that I don't return fire, or pout when I get stiffed.  The only time I have been exposed to takin a shot at anything past 500 was when I was a kid and testing my skills, and in the military but I don't know if you'd classify thet as huntin either.  Anyhow, I have asked many "LR" hunters what LR hunting is, but never really get a response.  Guess they're tired of getting ripped on by others.  Like I said, I'm tryin to understand befer I seriously say anythin, only thing I can, or have spoke on is what I know from experience.  We'll leave it at that.

  If you ever get the chance, PM me on what LR huntin is like I said the goal ain't to flame ya, or call names.  Just to understand what your talkin 'bout, after that I'll probably ask a question or two.  I think you've already heard plenty of my opinions, 'en a man don't change cause others tell him somethin.   In either account enjoy what your doing!  Life's short -
