    One caliber you couldn’t do without

    .38/.357 would be my choice as it can be chambered everything from J-Frames to service revolvers to rifles for medium game (at short range).

    Lever Action Scout

    I put a Leupold IER 2.5x on a Marlin 1895 using an XS rail and to be frank, it was just an awkward setup. No doubt this would be effective for many people, but I'll just go with a peep sight or a standard scope mount next time. JMHO, YMMV, etc.

    Only one gun for all reasons.Even if you know better

    A 4" .357 Magnum double-action revolver would be the ticket for me. If I didn't hunt I'd choose a CZ75 variant, G17/19, or some other good 9mm service pistol. If I had to choose one long gun as my only firearm it would be a 14.5" AR15, but if I can add a long gun to the aforementioned handgun...

    Hardest kicking gun you've ever shot?

    Pulled both triggers on my 16ga Ithaca side by side with high-brass loads. That was interesting.

    etymology -- "bust a cap"

    Wow, that guy sounds like he knows his stuff. I never knew about these extreme "calibrations". Funny, because my handloads are better than the factory rounds I've bought. More consistent crimp, C.O.L., etc. Good results on the range, too! :confused:

    Whats your genre

    Pre-'64 Winchesters and vintage S&W revolvers. Yeah, vintage describes it well.

    How hard will Remington 760 kick in 30-06?

    My 760 '06 has respectable recoil, more than my dad's BAR in '06, but is not as punishing as my Grandfather's Winchester Model 54 in the same chambering! I think that besides weight, a big factor is the stock design. The stock and metal buttplate on the 760 really isn't that forgiving...

    If I won the 290 million dollar Lottery....

    I've never bought a lottery ticket. If I did purchase a winning lottery ticket I would put it away and tell no one.

    Very First Reloads

    Two years ago, my buddy and I learned how to reload with his father. Started out loading .30-30 with Speer 170 FP's. Last night, I gave my father a reloading walkthrough as we reloaded sixty rounds of .308 Winchester start to finish. :)
