>>63825782

They don't make them anymore

>>63825447 (OP)
Good old tree fiddy seben mag

303 rules.

7.62x54r is the most right answer for me.
It has the best gun selections that shoot it, and that seals the deal for me.

>>63826007
Seconding, .303 just makes me happy every time I shoot it.
It also makes me sore, but that's what a nice wool tunic is for

>>63825924
HSM does. The HSM product code is BER-65Rem140VLD. It sells out fairly fast, but they do make it.

There are several custom loader who will load a box for you, too. Typically at $4-$5 per round - cheaper if you provide your own brass. Quality Cartridge makes 6.5 Rem Mag brass every so often, but you can make your own by necking down 7mm Rem Mag brass.

Of course, if you have the ability to neck down brass you can just load your own cartridges.

30-30, 30-40, 303, and 7.62x54r are the ones for me. Especially 30-30 and 7.62x54r.

This might be on the edge of the definition of "rifle cart" since these were for ball-and-shot guns--basically shotguns with rifled chokes, but I always thought the Westley Richards Explora and Fauneta were cool. The projectiles are actually fairly light slugs with big hollow points, the cones you can see sicking out front are very thin sheetmetal aerodynamic caps.

>>63825447 (OP)
416 number 2 the in my opinion best of the big bores. Or medium big bores if you like. Truly never lacking no matter the big or dangerous game.

>>63825910
9.3 is a pretty solid choice. I prefer. 333 or a 338 but I've seen the 9.3s in action first hand and the results are hard to argue.

>>63827261
It's a great round, just not well appreciated in North America. Sadly.

I love these little guys so much bros..

.22lr has never left me dry man. It’s a dear friend that has always by my side. I can spend 12 hrs straight on the range and the bottom of the can wont be in sight.

>>63827036
Is your dad's name Ken?

>>63828083
Nope. But I do own a copy of Ken Howell's excellent book on wildcatting, as any serious handloader should.

30-30 reigns supreme.
Winchester seemed to have been unknowingly thinking ahead when they designed it: the long neck (originally designed for protecting lube grooves in lead bullets) offers plenty of extra room for heavy bullets.

>>63825661
>resized 3220 brass it's insane.
The .32-20 is just a .25-20 to be and the .25-20 is just a .218 bee waiting to be resized

>>63829003
>the long neck (originally designed for protecting lube grooves in lead bullets) offers plenty of extra room for heavy bullets.
Plus the way its necked allows for chambering in revolvers.

>>63829012
.32-20 is for coons
.25-20 is for steel
.218 bee is for paper

>>63829003
>30-30 reigns supreme.
It was never even a military catridge neither is it an accuracy cartridge. It has no footprint outside North America at all. There are some great American cartridges like 270 but 30-30 is none of them and barely exists out side of the US
>>63829617
> for coons
I'mm bet your trailer even has a cement footing in places.

>>63829617
>coons
>steel
>paper
Yeah, that steel is in trouble. And is the .22hornet only for paper, too? Because the bee is faster still.
>>63830377
>your trailer even has a cement footing in places
Keeps out the coon.

9.3x74 would be an ideal north American game cartridge, really you can take any game on any continent with it, provided you have proper loads. I guess it goes back to Americans being late to the bolt action party, and big-bore lever guns were dominant by the time European big game rifles started showing up here. I like my Husqvarna, it shoots well and never fails to put deer/elk/bear/boar down cleanly. Maybe some day I'll get to go on safari. I really want kudu and wildebeest trophies.

Yeah. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1001963773?pid=620703

>>63830377
>It was never even a military catridge neither is it an accuracy cartridge.
Correct. Really, the interest in it in America is nothing but nostaliga. People like it because it's what their granddad used to go hunt with, and they likely still have Granddad's old rifle too.

Personally I see zero reason to buy a new rifle in that caliber. There are better cartridges available these days, the only reason to use it is for historical appreciation, and if you're going to do that why not shoot a vintage rifle, there's millions of them out there, they're not expensive or hard to find.

>>63831377
>they're not expensive
Classic vintage Win M94s are not as cheap as you think.

>>63831531
You can find very nice pre-'64 Winchester 1894s in 30-30 for a couple grand all day long. Original finish. While more expensive than a Glock, that's still pretty low end in the world of guns.

>>63831611
>very nice pre-'64 Winchester 1894s in 30-30 for a couple grand all day long.

They came out below $100.

>>63830377
>It was never even a military catridge

Wrong. The French and US both used Winchester 94s in 30-30 during WW1 in support roles.

>>63832092
Oh yeah, also the Brits bought some for WW1 too.

>>63832074
>They came out below $100.
Lol, so? Bread doesn't cost 5 cents a loaf anymore either, grandpa.

>>63832092
you clutched a very slim straw

>>63832219
Look, I'm not paying $12/dzn for eggs sonny and I'm not paying $2 fucking kay for a lever.

>>63831192
You know you can roll your own, right? I think the last time I bought factory 9.3 ammo was about 10 years ago. To be fair though, I only shoot about 20 shots a year, so even at that price it's affordable.

>>63833753
>, I only shoot about 20 shots a year, so even at that price it's affordable.
Perfectly reasonable and a position I have taken for exotics myself before. I'm just bitching.

>>63830377
>>63831377
I don't want to shoot 308 out of a 5lb short hunting rifle. I don't even know any guns that shoot 308 and are 5lbs. 30-30 is a perfect size and it's a common diameter. In a single shot you avoid the flat nose pitfall and get significantly better performance. It is small enough to fit even in a Contender.

>>63825447 (OP)
Can anyone clue me on this cartridge lineup? Esp. 2nd from left and 2nd from right.

>>63832532
Look, when someone shittalks a good caliber that I happen to like by saying it was "never" a military cartridge when it's a very easy thing to look up, I am honor bound to call them a retard. Over 20,000 rifles used in a single war is not nothing.

>>63836359
Middle looks like 30-30, which leads me to believe these are all 30-30 derivatives.

>>63836359

This is not an option for UI7.

>>63825683
More like .22 zippy fuck.

i spend a lot of time thinkin' bout 218 bee and 25-20

>>63835571
>I don't want to shoot 308
Who said anything about .308?

>>63826024
I just like it bros

>>63838742
30-30 is a .308 diameter projectile, he's just being a pedantic retard

>>63838861
There are plenty of other cartridges that use .30 cal bullets if that's what anon is insisting on. It's not like 30-30 and 308 are your only options. And there's also the question of why insist on a .30 cal at all?

i just think its neat

>>63839980
Ngl, an M1 Carb chambered in this would be cool varminting.

>>63840841
they did make a few of those if i recall

like 22 mag
simple as

>>63840887
Too big to be what 22lr is
Too rimfire to be what hornet or bee is

>>63841217
So "just right". Goldilocks approved!

>>63838829
Of all the 30 cal rimmed carts, 7.62x54r is the best ballistically speaking.
>mogs 30 krag

>slightly beats out 303 brit
30r blaser exists but it isn't commonly found

>>63839980
I wish the M1892 was chambered for this.

>>63825447 (OP)
I love the .22 hornet, but the .17 Hornet is a monster. If you reload this round is cheap, no recoil, capable of long range shots on small targets. Not great in the wind but with that muzzle velocity, it turns small animals into small pieces of meat.

>>63844384
forgot pic

>>63826024
It also looks cool :)

>>63844387
If only in a Savage M99 takedown, but honestly, a Ruger M77/17 would be better. What IS chambered for it?

>>63838829
By far the cheapest gun I have, but I love my mosin so much.

>>63847271
>local pawn shop as of 9:36am 16 Jun 2025 trying to sell a wartime Tula 91/30 for $525
If it’s gone within a week I’ll stop collecting milslop.
They had a M27 for about the same too. Both were labeled incorrectly.

>>63845677
I have the Ruger m77/17 hornet. Ruger is supposed to be making a new one with a shorter threaded barrel. started with a 3x9 optic, then went to a 4x14, and now run a 5x25. shooting ground squirls at 300 yard is so much fun with this thing. If it is a windy day I'll use 20 grain projectiles but usually prefer the 15.5 as they have a boat tail.

>>63849552
>I have the Ruger m77/17 hornet
Nice. It's a new rnd to me. I have the M77/17HMR and I'm sure you could.kick my ass on paper with yours.

>>63850066
huge fan of the 17 hmr. The hornet has impressive range for what it is. I also love being able to reload for it. I originally wanted to get a .22 hornet because i shot my dad's a lot as a kid and loved it. The 17 hornet came out the same year I started looking for the .22. i couldn't resist and it quickly became my favorite varmint gun. For years it was my truck gun while in Idaho and Nevada.

>>63850163
A very reassuring endorsement! But I think my stable is full up on varmint carts, 2 .218BEE, 1 .22WRM, 1 .17HMR, 1 5.7x28 and a current obsession for a .22TCM, which will likely remain unfulfilled.

>>63841587
nah, .22 mag is a super niche cartridge. It's too expensive for plinking, and there's a very narrow range of applications where you need more power than .22LR but simultaneously don't want as much power as a 22 Hornet or bigger.

>>63851987
>a very narrow range of applications
Like my Winchester M9422M. Wouldn't have it any other way.

>>63852218
What do you use it for?

>>63852270
Fun.

>>63838829
There nothing like shooting a Mosin with snow under your feet

>>63825573
The rare cartridge with an even rarer stripper clip. But such a good rifle.
