First I guess we gotta define "BIG BORE". To me it kinda starts with .358 caliber and goes up.
Myself I like the big hvy bullet/slow to moderate speed ones in carbines. Bolt or lever.
In the big hvy bullet magnums I'll take one like pyro's.

I am back and forth on a lever 45-70 like you SIL got, a 458 or 450 ARupper, or a No. 1 Ruger in the 458 Lott. I really like the AR though and doubt I'd ever use the others over the choice of an AR.

Read an article a while back by Phil Shoemaker where he tested a .50 Beowulf on an AR platform.
He was impressed.

I just find the cost of components to be to high to go that route.

This is how it goes around here; a new bar opens up and three popular bars close down from lack of buisness.
The Savage I shoot must be a lemon. It barely shot MOA when I got it. After working with it and loads I finally got one hole groups of 5/8", but it shoots them consistantly. I was shooting clay birds at over 300yds and a bowling pin over 400yds away repeatedly, Saturday. Maybe I should try a different weight bullit. Guess you can't make a Black Betty out of a sow's ear.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

One thing at a time fellas! I need to finish my 223 Upper for my AR first. I Might then look at something heavier for the AR. Maybe one of these days they'll figure out how to make a dial a caliber barrel and action! Wouldn't that be cool?

if you wanna get technical, .375 and below are "medium" bores. .416 i believe is the start of "big" bores. |

Wouldn't that make the .416 a heavy medium, the 458 a light heavy, the 470 medium heavy and the.... I'm confusing myself.

to be honest with you, i would start it at .458 diameter, i think the .416 is what koshkin would call a "tweener"
in my world the .416's are like a .270, to small for the bigger stuff and to big for the smaller stuff. i can hear dale reading this right now and shaking his head thinking " that damn kid dont know nothin" Edited by pyro6999 - September/28/2010 at 21:01 |

Especially coming from you, two years ago you wanted nothing to due with the over .30 crowd. See what age, marriage and children will due to you.
