Yes I was,I think,it was just kjd having a laugh, although I thought he might of tired of it and put weatherby back in.
As for the post above,I believe you are correct, about the 30 caliber,
v 7mm, the face is bigger there fore at the same speeds more damage will be done,however this I believe is compensated for by the deeper penatration of the 7mm.
30 cal vs 7mm weight for weight, with equal speed there's really only academic differences.
I only suggested the 280 as another alternative and I though a good one,
cheers
I see on the preview he's still at it, well different strokes I suppose.

Actually you are right kjd I don't get it, how can someone else post a rifle brand name but not me,and just to show my ignorance/inexperence I also have no idea what Lmao is.

Could you take the time to explain please.

ROFL (not ROLF) is rolling on floor laughing

it think it is the short version of ROFLMAO

not sure about ROLF though

Post by **GriMo** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 1:33 pm

ROFL = Rolling On The Floor Laughing
ROFLMAO = Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off
LOL = Lauging Out Loud
QFT = Quoted For Truth
TTIUWP = This Thread Is Useless Without Pics

there are shitloads more but many will more will make sense at the actual time of seeing it

ie "hey mate ill bbs 5 mins or so"

bbs = Be Back Soon. can swap it for BRB aswell.

ROFL = Rolling On the Floor Laughing.
Or to look even cooler.... ROFLMAO.

ojr: When "Weatherby" is posted the software detects it and replaces it with "Weatherby". The reason I can get it to work is because I type it like this....

ojr there is a forum here that is run by roy boy- read Weatherby- nuts.

If you don't own or like Roy's toys you cop heaps and of course give heaps back.

All we are doing is indulging in the great Aussie past time of taking the piss ot of each outher. Come to think of it you Kiwis are pretty good at that too.

hehehe

The "Roy-boy" joke is no different to a certain US forum where the Rem700 is referred to as a "Sucks" action. Which is true mind you, as they do "suck" when they need to be trued and rebarrelled to match accuracy of a production Savage

Cheers...

So Con do you recommend me saving the $$$ on a custom 204 and just swapping the VT for a Savage

30/06 for me. I actually load it with 125 Speer TNT for this size game. Ive shot out to 250m and its a dynamite killer. I bought a BLR first, shit did it kick. So I sold it and bought a Wheatherby Vanguard with a timber stock. You can get it blue or stainless. It is a pleasure to shoot. So much so that the 243 hardly gets used any more.

My brother swears by his 308. I load 110 grain VMAX for his.
