Re: Best 7mm cartridge ?
Absolutely not, I will happily dispose of all those nasty old rifles for you, and anyone else here, FREE OF CHARGE.
Make space in your cabinet and slots on your ticket for the wonderful world of new and shiny, those old guns couldn't hit anything anyway, everyone knows that, smooth and shiny or black and tac. It is the only way to go badger me old soup tureen, me old cruet set, me old pith helmet polisher.

You don't want to be faffing on with all those old fashioned, out of date, boring old blued and walnut multiple hand, fit for scrap old guns, with those primitive sights that won't shoot sh!te. Buy new and bespoke and let all those rust sticks just die, they are just not worth the effort. Its the 21st century FFS, get with the post modern pogrom and buy up to date kit which is far superior to all those old guns that went before and trash anything more than a month old.

"600 or 1000 mards." Now what about a 7x64? A bit heavy on charge, but lots of 30-06 brass to re-size, and lots of oomf!

Availability of canned bangs, and low price, count for a lot ...
