That sounds like a cool rifle slider. I have always wanted a .264 win mag. But I don't hand load, maybe someday.

100 grain muzzy 3-blades.  If I could find my calipers I would give you a caliber.

Another vote for bow, but if I had to go back to rifle it would be my .250 Savage for blacktails and whities and 30-06 for mulies.  I will have to throw in a nod for the old 30-30 for heavy brush.

what kinda 250 savage do you have? Ive always thought that was a very interesting caliber but have never cared for the 99 (nothing personal if thats what your is) I always thought that something on the lines of a remington model 7 or ruger ultralite would be a dandy deer rifle.
nuke the gray whales for jesus!

wow sounds like you fellas have some nice guns, i havent been as fortunate to have some of those, ive shot everything from a 303 savage which is pre-historic as my buddies kid me(killed my first buck with it) to what i currently own 30-06 model 760 pump, not a fan of it, but that what has been passed down, ive been lucky enough to kill a few deer, but im fastly becoming a fan of the 25-06.
