Europe, I've had 2 rifles in 8mm Mauser. So began reloading for them. Tried a lot of bullets from 185 to 220 grs. Finally settled on a 200 gr for both of them. While I probably pick my 9.3 for 1 rifle to take all that game listed, I think I could take all that with my 200 gr reload with either...

OK, I'll play: 8mm Mauser

Have U or anyone reading seen a nice leather cheek piece?

Yes I have this old Bubbized No4 Mk1* that I keep in the truck during hunting season: It was given to me FREE ! Someone had hacksawed the barrel and the front forearm square. Did even try to re-crown barrel - Just left it sawed. They also put on a front site crooked. Wouldn't hit a letter...

I've always consider a 243W to be "deer size" appropriate cartridge. Although, I've never had a rifle in that caliber. I also believed that the 243W has its limits. My experience is limited to friends and buddies I've been on hunts with. I was with a group on a guided hunt for deer and hogs...

I'm with Sam - Most any 180 grain bullet out of a 06 is going to put a deer down. Whitetail deer just aren't that tough. I use the 180 Rem CLs just because I got'em in a bullet swap - they have worked every time. If you have both ABs and BTs use'em both. When you go to buy more, But the ones...

jr1968, I see at one time you posted: "I just bought a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington" If you still have this rifle, Its made for and almost perfect for the hunting you describe!? See another member mentioned it, too.

I don't always "Buy a Rifle", sometimes I build'em. But either way, I always have a vision for a specific hunting situation or purpose.

Dang-it! why would you put that nagging thought in my head? Haven't thought of anything else since I read your post today: Of how I would love to have a 400 mile backyard!
