7mm PRC. Well, I have the ammo but no rifle yet. Going to wait until Tikka offers one.

I have a Model 7 in 6mm Rem. I wasn't such an oddball when it was bought. I'm not sure there is a production rifle chambered for it any more. I still have a target from 1986 where the first 5 shots at 100m were covered by a quarter. After that, the barrel started heating up and the group grew.

Those 338 RUM will not only kill but gut your deer for you. Buddy had one and he cut one in two with it he joked

Yea he bought the gun from Larry’s a few years back. Half price sale I think he said like 250-300 for a rem model 700. He th a said it was $95 for a box of 20. That was 10 years ago. LoL.

He was scared of that gun, recoil was bad.

I don’t think I hunt with any obscure cartridges but the ones that come to mind are 7.62x54R and 6.5Grendel. I think the 26-06 is pretty mainstream but it’s getting harder to find ammunition for it. The GF had a .32cal cap and ball that she like to bring on the trap line.

I guess I’m the odd ball in the group. I DONT want an obscure round because availability of ammo, price of ammo, and I don’t hand load.

Everything I own is common.

I will own a 35 whelen tho

Just the old military calibers - .303 British, 7.62x54 Russian, 6.5 Swedish, 7.62x39 Russian, 7.5 French, 7.5 Swiss, 7.7 Japanese, 8mm Mauser. In handguns 7.62x25 Russian, 7.62x38 Russian, 7.65 French Long, 8mm Nambu, 7.63 Mauser. Reload them all too. The bullets for .303, 7.62x54, and 7.7 are interchangeable as are the 7.5 French and 7.5 Swiss. Using 30-30 load data I can shoot 150g .308 bullets in the 7.62x39. The 7.63 Mauser and 7.62x25 bullets are interchangeable (I use a .30 Carbine). I use a .32 acp bullet for the 7.62x38 Russian and the 7.5 French Long.

Thanks - will try not to make a habit of it - glad you are doing alright. Think that limb that went by your head here was a warning sign?
