Another No.1, but what Calibre?
      11/08/13 06:55 AM

Hello all,

About 12 months ago I was fortunate enough to obtain another Ruger No.1 action in really good condition.

As I currently have No.1’s in 222Rem, 7x57, 375H&H, 450NE and 500NE, my quandary is what caliber do I build this one in?

I like casting and shooting lead bullets, so should I build something like a 358 Winchester or a 45/70?

I have always liked the idea of a 338/06, even before it became a factory cartridge, but what will it do that my 375H&H won’t.

Or, having recently gained access to a magnificent Fallow Deer hunting property where some longer range shots could be called for, perhaps building something like a 300H&H Magnum may be in order (although I am quite confident out to 400 odd yards with my 7x57)

I like the classic nitro express caliber’s too. Maybe I should build a nice “little” 400/350

So Ladies and Gentlemen, if you were in this position, what caliber would you choose, and why?

Let your imaginations run free, don't hold back

Best
ALEX
