SSL, I think one should be a 6 mm Rem owner to know what big mistake Remington made when they started offering the .244 Rem using a twist of 1 in 12", while Winchester gave their .243 Win a twist of 1 in 10". Later on Remington changed the twist in 1 in 9" and renamed it the 6 mm Rem. I like the 6 mm Rem and I know I don't use it enough, but that's mainly because I rather late learned to know the nice things about .224 bullets and their performances. |

It's not that animals are getting tougher, it's that less and less shooters actually know how to shoot so they need a bigger pill to ensure when they stuff up and get a gut shot they can still get a kill. |

I know guys who hunt once a year and have gone three years with the same box of 20 shells. |

Sounds like a guy I work with. He's as cheap as they get. Bought himself a Remington 770 in .270. It came with a scope and he was told it was bore sighted at the factory so why waste the ammo on a target. He's had the same box of ammo he got with the rifle for ten years now. Now if you really want to hear some good BS at a gun counter, stop by Walmart. I overheard a discussion between a customer and the counter help regarding which ammo this guy needed for his Colt 1911. The counter man sold him a box of .45 Colt ammo, saying that it says right on it that it's .45 ammo made for a Colt. I'll bet he had a heck of a time trying to load his mags. Don |
