    How many 30 calibers do you own?

    It just occurred to me I own a **** load of rifles that shoot the exact same bullet...just at different speeds.

    1. 300 Savage
    2. 308 Winchester
    3. 300 H&H
    4. 300 Win mag
    5. 300 WSM
    6. 300 Ultra Mag
    7. 7.5x55 Swiss

    No...I don't own a 30-06. I do own a 303 British, which is close but not close enough...

    I swear, they all seem really different....

    Not nearly enough ... yet ...

    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Really? I have TWO single shot 9.5x47R rifles! One is an unmarked Mauser 71 based single shot bolt action Schuetzen target rifle and the other is a break action side hammer sporter made in Dresden. I'll get to them one of these days, but they are still on the "back burner project gun" pile right now ...
