lol well i ment 300 weatherby haha the 30-378 is disgusting got the guns sited in today… the 6.5 swedish is probly my favorite shooting gun. i put two bullets on top of each other on the first two shots. the 12 gauge is around 3 inch groups at 100 yards. not bad for a shotgun lol but damn that recoil is heavy ---

I wanna pick up a 22-250 and do a little more long range varmint shooting. All I have now is a 22LR with a 3-9x40. Takes chimpmunks heads off at 70 yards with cci stingers lol. Got a couple opposums at night with it and a maglight too. ---

i love my 6mm for long range hogs. or a .243 with light 50-60 grain varmit loads. factory Vmax 55 grain varmit loads in a .243 are flatter shooting than 22 caliper loads. plus it carries more energy out to 400-500 yards to really get good kills on large hogs. ---

I don’t get the 17 calibers at all. A .223 shoots flatter and is more poweful and ammo is cheaper. The only thing I can think of for the 17s is that absolutely zero recoil, other than that the guns are expensive and the ammo isn’t exactly cheap. I see no purpose at all for it. ---
