Next Rifle Cartridge?

[RWT]

22 CM as soon as I sell my 22-250
Maybe the perfect Texas deer rifle. Didn’t Horace Gore try this route with the 224 TTH?

I’m pretty bias, but I love the .280 ackley improved.

 

[Tx_6UM]

I wanted a 33xc or 338 rum for a while because I thought it would be fun to mess around with. I’m building a 6um instead. I need it about as much as I need a .338 but at least the recoil with be tolerable.

I vote a 6mm or .338.

A 6mm-06 is easy to load for, kills things, shoots way out there, and you can tease your 6 creed buddies for shooting so slow.

 

[ZAK13]

Look at the 280AI or 6.8 Western.

 

[Mojave]

6mm Creedmoor or GT

7mm PRC

If you have an aspirations of Africa the 9,3x62, 375s and so on are fun.

If you just want a crazy big cartridge see if you can find a 500 Nitro Single shot built on a Ruger number one.

Or buy a TC Encore in 500 Smith and Wesson.

A 300 Blackout would be fun to play with and would work with your suppressor. I also think the 6 ARC is a very interesting cartridge.

 

[jimh406]

7mm Mauser or 6.5 Grendel

 

[SamsonMan22]

6arc, 6cm, or 308

 

[HingleMcCringleberry]

6gt

Deer rifle in thick woods? 35 Whelen or 9.3x62 or just an 06 in case you ever hunt elk or moose & always want ammo available to purchase easily.

Since you have a 30 cal suppressor already, why not go with a .308? Tons of ammo available and lots of gun options with a threaded barrel. You get a lightweight bolt set up, or build you a fun AR-10 platform.

 

[elkguide]

The answer to that question is always a .300 Win Mag.

 

[slvrslngr]

30-06 is the correct answer, preferably in something classy like a pre-64 Winchester. Every red blooded American NEEDS a 30-06 (a 30-30 lever gun is a close second).

 

[Crowmangler]

Might as well go ahead & get a Barrett 50 cal

 

[35WhelenAI]

35 Whelen or 35 Whelen AI. You NEED a mid bore. 400 yd ranging with the .358 200 TTSX. End of search. 35 AI took the place in the field of the 300 Win Mag that is in my safe 22 years ago (and not shot in anger since) and everything out to 400 yards is one and done. Less recoil, much less powder and more authority on impact based on many observations.

300 Norma if you reload, 300 prc if you don’t

300 Winmag or 300 PRC. Your Creedmoor handles everything fine up to that caliber, your just missing something big.

just missing something big.

Glad to see everyone is coming to their senses around here.

Except big starts with a 4
