Plus 300 wbymag. I never new a 308 bullet could be reloaded into so many different calibers.
Congrats on the new purchase Rob!

Plus 300 wbymag. I never new a 308 bullet could be reloaded into so many different calibers.
Congrats on the new purchase Rob!
I finally got too shoot it today, and I'd say the Benelli gas system does eat up a fair amount of recoil to ease. I was truly surprised at how manageable it was. 
One problem...after my fiance finished sending 5 rounds into the head of the steel ram at 200 yards with one of my SKSs she asked to try the 300 mag, and 3 shots on the ram later she said "I like this rifle".
Man I am so broke if I have to buy another Benelli.
I also managed a respectable group at 200 yards with it, and had to go down range twice to reset the ram after I sent it off it's wire hangers.
What a nice cartridge.

243, 270, 30-30, 308, 30-06, 300 WSM, 300 Win Mag, 300 Wby Mag, 338 Win Mag, 45/70 - All are cartridges.
Can someone please raise their hand and tell me which ones are 30 calibers?
All I can say is that it takes a man with a massive ##### to shoot a magnum, knowing all the while that it makes him look like he's compensating for something, hehe.
And, I think it also says something about those who brag about how much they can get done with a teeny-tiny little cartridge
Yeah he needs the third leg to hold himself up from the recoil.. lol.. Careful u dont step on it...would look more like a liver fluke than a #####..

Adding to that...Methinks the 30/30 94 Winchester was the original "assault rifle".
It still is pretty good. Just ask 'Jim' at Pullens...
And going back to my crack about the .30-06... with Hornady light magnum ammo it still is a close one to the venerable .300 Win Mag...
I just bought a Browning BAR in .300 WinMag...I had to...I sold the Ruger 77 I had chambered in .300WM last year, and I still had some loaded ammunition. I'm NOT kidding...this is actually the justification I used to convince myself to buy this rifle.
Picking up a gun because you already have ammo for it seems reasonable enough. Know of a guy that saw Wal-Mart was discounting all it's .270 ammo big-time, so bought the whole lot. Trouble was he had to go out & get a rifle in .270 to shoot it...
