What ideal round would you want?


[QUOTE]I know the practical easy answer is the 9.3x74R but I would say that is lacks legs/trajectory for the longer distances.Most western shots and animals I have seen taken can go 200+ yards.You wouldn't want you buddies dropping them at those ranges with you just watching or missing rainbow shots.[/QUOTE]

The 9.3X74R double rifle , properly loaded will do just fine at 250 yds, and beyond! [color]


[QUOTE]Is such a Double round out there with such potential? No??[/QUOTE]

Yes, there are several! The 9.3x74R is the best of the lot, because it has power for very large animals, yet is flat shooting enough, to handle 250+ yd Elk, or Moose, yoet is fine for cross canyon deer hunting, or shooting across wide expances of grass to prong horn. However, the 7X64 rimmed, 7X57 rimmed, the new 30 Blazer, rivals the 300 win mag., and all properly loaded will handle ranges the shooter can't!

The most absurd aspect of this post is the notion that the correct calibers don't already exist. As Dugaboy1 said above and I posted earlier, there are plenty of cartridges commonly chambered in double rifles that fill the bill nicely from a pure ballistics standpoint.

Or maybe the most absurd thing is the encouragement of shooting game from field positions at much past 250 yards with any gun & cartridge!
