What are some of your guns own and use then for Hunting and target practice?

What are some of yours? As I grew up owning 12 gauge shotgun and 22 rimfire, and used my moms Savage 99 in 30/30, and dads Remington semiauto 30/06?

The Nylon 66 was a dandy, H&R single shot 410 and later 20 gauge.

So many new calibers for today, but the real truth is that one can hunt with the old standards just as well as latest and greatest, as would take 270 win over the "miracle" 6.5 Creedmore any day of the week for hunting

For sure, the 270 is a dandy round! Based on the 30-06 as the parent cartridge.
308.7,62 Nato is another old round that works very well.

What is interesting is that with modern bullets and faster twist rate barrels, old war horses like those can keep right up with modern day guns such as the Creedmores

yeah but I got tired of working it and not enough bang. I mean it I need a certain amount of recoil.

some had accelerated rifling. Are you referring to the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser?

was referring to that with faster twist rate barrels and copper bullets, calibers such as 270 win/30 06 can kept very well with the latest and greatest ones such as the creedmoors, and western and Prc rounds

Sorry I’m old school. I have a 6.5x57 Mauser. But I like shooting jhp in it. Not lead. The old jackets they had were thin steel or something. They keep up pretty good now with modern stuff. New riflings? A cut above.
