have you ever wanted to own a rifle in a caliber you've never even seen,but once you looked over the ballistics, you just knew that if the opportunity was there you would grab one.
the first time for me was looking thru a weatherby catalog and seeing the ballistics a 250 grain bullet from the 340 weatherby could provide at about 2900fps, once I got one it was truly impressive.
Well I might be insane but I also felt that way the first time I looked at a 375H&H carbine,with a 300 grain bullet at about 2500fps and the first time I looked over the 458 LOTT with a 500 grain bullet at 2300fps, and the 416 weatherbys 400 grain bullet ballistics,and the 378 weatherby pushing a 300 grain at 2900fps, and I think the new SAKO 370 mag with its 286 grain bullet at 2550fps looks like it may be the sixth time.(Im looking into getting one)
I guess Im a bit easily impressed with the results Ive always gotten from the 34 caliber and larger rifles that push a decent weight for the caliber slug ,on larger game, but I guess we all have our little quirks.
theres just something I really like about a rifle in a caliber that really hits hard.
