Whoa!

Never. 6.5mm is really just a half axed effort on being a 7mm.

And we all know we owe it to the critters to be complete axes.

You can hunt with a 30 round magazine here in Arizona. Or 100 rounds, si quieres.  :IBCOOL:

Here too! It's awesome for us commoners who can't shoot.

Next year I'm going NFA 240 or maybe old school 60.

you're right! .30 cal center fire rifles or bigger only! We all know "traditional" black powder rifles are way more ethical to hunt with than any "Modern Sporting Rifle"

I asked my hunting partner last year when he wanted to go to the range to zero in the rifles. No kidding, his response was: "I'll zero it in on the deer."  :o

I'll see your 338 and raise you to 375!

I'd be fine with .277 since that's the smallest I use in this state.

You take that back; they're just misunderstood! You're probably just part of the spray and pray crowd anyways. You guys with your long barrels, always judging us real hunters who don't need an extra 6" of barrel to get the job done. Unethical, good for nothing, bad shooting, small bore loving, sprays and prays so and so's.......

I think my next build will be an AR pistol in 375 SOCOM just for hunting. I need a 30 round mag though.  :tup:

I

good call! As some would day "kills em deader"! ☺

I don't just like my stuff killed deader, I want it killed the deaderest I can get it! Nothing does that quite as well as double tapped 260gr Accubonds from a 375.

If you can't hunt deer with it then why own it. Think a little farther out of the box, some are trying to find ways to keep you from even owning a gun. Don't throw fuel on their fire! :bdid:

maybe for elk but any 22 centerfire is fine for deer, most other states allow any 22 centerfire and my 22-250 destroys deer in georgia.
Title: Re: Should they make .264 the minimum caliber for deer?
Post by: 257wbymagkiller on December 25, 2016, 12:03:53 PM
243 is one fine caliber and is used by alot of elk hunters I know. As everyone has said in previous threads it's all about shot placement. My go to deer cartridge is a .240 Weatherby.

Like grouse tracker said 22-250 is a deer killer in Midwest states. With a good bullet and placement it makes a good deer caliber. But there are plenty of people who can't shot a barn door and 10 paces hahaha  :chuckle:

Well, I'm ok with anything under 6.5mm...  As long as it's fully automatic and suppressed.  But no magazines over 30 rounds.  That's where I draw the line.  Cause that's just crazy talk...   :tinfoil:

  I'm thinking 30 rounds is about right, you have to be prepared for a quick follow up shot, or 30, just to make up for these infierior bullet designs. Don't want to end up in the same catagorty of those **** arrow flingers with all that lost game.
