I think they they should be banned until this is resolved as nobody knows if they are or not. I of stalking now so I better garb the 308 just encase the 243 is to small

Sorry, couldn’t be ar-ed to trawl trough all 46 pages so did anyone suggest Mr. Dagben77 give serious consideration to how comfortable or otherwise he is shooting the larger calibres compared to a 243??

The difference between this perfectly adequate round and a 270 is most noticeable in terms if recoil and anyone who suggests otherwise is doing a Greenhorn no favour. Even a novice who has been taught to hold a rifle correctly may remain “sensitive” at a certain level of recoil and will in consequence never shoot such a rife as well as one that is brought to the cheek with all the confidence and welcome of a buxom Serving Wench.

And a point I believe I made some 35 pages ago

 

[Klenchblaize]

Yes, I now see you did and in far fewer words but no harm in a polite reminder some 36 pages later!

Yes well done crosshair243 ,i cant even remember how manny post i have put on this thread ,one was about a guy who had some big cannon that he was so scared off he couldn't shoot it at well and they refused to let him out on the deer with it ,

No no no it's not big enough, this calibre is only for the very experienced stalker with dsc1-5, and if you are from Scotland or sell stalking days, mere mortals should stick to 308, and never be allowed near the holy grail of 270 let alone a 6.5x55. just the opinion mind you of a armchair warrior who would not know one end of a deer from another.

they do like there 270's dont they i thought it was a real hard kick round when i had ago with one didnt like it much at all dont no why but the 308 seems more reserve than the 270 imho

I love hearing about how fierce the 270 recoil is...
