Failed cartridges...

[No_Regerts]

No one's saying its not....???

You were talking .375s, threw an option out there.

K.
Cheaper than Dirt shows a number of H&H offerings that hover around $1000.
Granted, there's fewer options for the Ruger round, but they're both less expensive than any of the H&H choices.

What were we saying about the .450 Bushmaster being a failed cartridge?...

The first rifle I ever had custom built was a VZ24 Mauser in 308 Norma Magnum. Great caliber that will fit in normal length actions. Easy to rechambered a 30-06 and simply open the bolt face to make a long range rifle. There is also the 358 Norma Magnum. I am restoring a classic Mauser right now that has been rechambered to 8mm-06.

My uncle has a sporterized turkish mauser in 8mm-06. It's his best shooter.

*edit*
In it's day, 8mm-06 was *the* most popular wildcat. You could even get factory ammo for it.

40sw is a great cartridge. prob the best blend of 9mm and 45acp there is. look aty the ballistics they dont lie....the 45 acp is so slow you can see the bullet against a snowy backdrop....but yes it makes a large HOLE!

Who loaded for 8mm-06? Can you show us a box?

Trying to verify. It's starting to look like ancient urban legend. Uncle L (Mauser fan) died last year. Most of his rendezvous buddies are gone. Uncle C claims to recall seeing 8mm-06 in factory boxes "years ago". Maybe false. Sorry.

 

[DeanMk]

It's ok.
If you ever find any boxes, feel free to post a pic of them.
Would be interesting to see. =)

LOL.
That looks like custom loads. Hence the urban legend.

 

[Argonaut]

It was never factory loaded as far as I know.

 

[DeanMk]

Sure it was!
It was loaded at The Old Western Scrounger Factory!

 

[DeanMk]

...ok, Deano reel it in.
Sorry Astro, had to be 12 there for a minute.
I think you're right. I think its always been a wildcat.

I don't know why people complain about the .40 S&W and I never pick up more than I shoot. Haven't heard anyone make a real case for getting rid of it. People are more just stuck on 9mm and 45 and police can't shoot for crap so they're going back to 9mm for the extra opportunities to actually hit the target. Lol

 

[DeanMk]

People too hooked on having as many shots as possible on tap without reloading.
The compromise there is 9mm.
"Police can't shoot" could stem from not strict enough teaching policies when it comes to shooting.
A friend was a federal security guard and he always shot from the opposite eye.
I told him that's poor form and in an emergency situation, he's more likely to miss doing that.
His argument was that his bosses were fine with how he shot the gun, so that's how he was going to shoot.

Having as many shots as possible? My 1911 carries 7 rounds. I use Hungarian tankers (20 round) instead of 30s. I just prefer 10mm and .45 ACP over .40 S&W

 

[DeanMk]

WELL, YOU DIDN'T LIST 9MM SO I GUESS YOUR CASE DOESN'T APPLY, NOW DOESN'T IT.

 

[Boboclown]

9mm failed cause .45 ACP won two wars.

Thats what my dad says. He literally told me if I ever buy a 9mm I can't bring it in his house. Lol. That being said I'm strongly considering buying a CZ P09 in 9mm.
