I dont know much about guns but was apparently shot with a 30.08 ???

ah, good stuff

so could be a .30-06 or a .308. love aussie hunters. nice, simple, efficient calibers. guys over here would be ranting and raving that only a huge cannon would do the job on that big pig

just looking at all that pork makes me hungry
 
Damn! I've seen cattle smaller than that. OINK!
 
For that bad boy it would have to be Oldsarge and his .375 H+H Mag with a 285Grain Jacketed soft point (may be a grand slam) and loaded with 86 grains of Hodgdon 4831SC powder.
That would make his eyes water!
 
I'd take my .450 Marlin. 350gr FN @ 2150fps

my H&H would be a nice back-up though

The 350 Grain bullet would be better in a .416 Rem Mag with 82 grains of vit N540 giving you 2636 fps at the muzzle.

Now were talking real guns and not cork poppers.

if you try to fire that 350gr (it's a .458) bullet out of a .416 bad things would happen i prefer the rigby to the Rem, lower preasures, and a lot more class. 400gr @ 2400fps :inlove

My .450 consumes 53.5gr of RL7 to get 2150fps. (i'm a handloader too) more then enough for anything on this continent, it has stopped a couple very grumpy bears so far

ah, thought you were refering to MY 350gr. I gotcha now

never been a big fan of speer. tend to stick to Hornady and Nosler. trying out some 225gr Innerbonds in my .338-06 A-Sq on moose this fall. hoping they perform, as the load is shooting .6moa consistant. and keeps 2000ft.lbs out to 300yrds.
 

Never played with a .338-06 sounds good though.
Anything like the .338 lapua mag now that’s a nice round.
 
.338-06 is a .30-06 necked up to .338 cal. getting 2677fps avg. with 225gr. and 2539fps avg. with 250gr. using H4350. balistically identical to a .30-06 with 180gr, but hits a whole lot harder.

Lapua is a cannon. very impractical for all but the most specialized applications. but is a hoot to shoot.
 
Reactions: podge


Sounds really good I’ll have to see if I can find somebody with one so I can have a try.
Your dead right about the .338 I love it, gives a good hard smack so you know you fired it.
Good luck with the moose.
