The coolness of cartridges...

[Dogleg]

Any cartridge that ends in the words "Nitro Express" is cool!

Can't argue that! Anything that the name or sight of, will make shooters from the other end of the firing line stop what they're doing and wander over for a look must be cool.

Cool cartridges

.218 Bee
6mm PPC
.338/06
.450 Ackley
28 gauge

WSM calibers, any 3700+ fps cartridge, any caliber that when it hits a man sized target removes limbs and anything that is still being used after 100 years is way cool in my books.

I won't need them until I get my black ninja suit complete with knee and elbow pads, black kevlar helmet and goggles, but as soon as my suit comes in I will go find these. If I can't fund these guns though there are always death stars I could practise throwing.

effective range of death stars is highly questionable and is another thread in itself

45/70 very cool
375h&h very cool and a classic to boot!
6.5x284 cool wildcat shoots tiny groups and thats always cool!

I still wish the RSAUM actually meant Remington Super Action Ultra Mag....that would be a kool cartridge!

OK, I'll play . . .

Any cartridge that ends in the words "Nitro Express" is cool!

Yup!

 

[SuperCub]

I think a 350 G&H would be classic & cool.

It's a 375H&H necked down to 35cal with no other changes. Lots of brass and bullets. Something different, but still usefull. It would fit into a 700 long action or a full length 602.

I was at the range last weekend and a guy was there with a Rem 700. When asked what it was chambered in, he said "30/06". I was wise enough to stay out of the way while people rushed over to see it. I just kept firing away with my Mauser chambered in 458 Win Mag Improved.

Glad to see people have priorities in Ottawa........
