    Most powerful reasonable caliber?

    I'm not afraid of recoil like I said a mosin nagant is mild to me. That being said after the input here I am leaning towards a 30-06 the 110 grain bullets travel at 3400 fps which should drop them plenty dead. I wasn't going to shoot anything living with ap bullets by the way I just shoot a lot...

    Most powerful reasonable caliber?

    @mldeckard, not at all, I just want something bigger than my .223 for long range hits, I used to own a 30-06, sold it because I was 70lbs lighter then and had no use for it, now I can shoot one comfortably so I may buy one so I can shoot the old armor piercing surplus, But as neither would...

    Most powerful reasonable caliber?

    Kind of curious to see what everyone thinks, I may go with a 30-06 just for the availability of armor piercing rounds and such but part of me thinks if I am going to go big i might as well go for a 300 RUM or thereabouts as neither is likely to get much more than a box of shells through it a...

    Most powerful reasonable caliber?

    What is the most powerful caliber that you either own or have shot that is still reasonable when it comes to recoil, and cost to shoot? I'm considering adding a large gun to the collection just in case I go large game hunting or give into the urge to see a coyote explode but I don't want...

    .357 vs ar-15 for general hunting and shooting.

    I want three guns in the near future, a 1911, a ar-15, and a .357mag, However I am forced to think about what makes the most sense, eg, price to shoot, actual use, use if it becomes hard to find or get and so forth. My upper budget is 800$ and I was considering a 1911 but its a slow moving...

    ruger 22/45 vs sr 22 for .22 pistol?

    Mine does not have the thumb safety, I liked the .22 mk iii as a target pistol but I think the luger grip may affect accuracy too much, I haven't shot much in recent history so I don't know if two different grip angles may throw off accuracy

    ruger 22/45 vs sr 22 for .22 pistol?

    I know there are plenty of threads and I have read most of it, but I am mostly going to be buying this to improve my accuracy with my springfield XD-9, I have not shot pistols in a while, beyond my springfield recently, and its getting too expensive to shoot, a .22 would be cheaper, and more...

    Coyote gun?

    I know this has been discussed to death, but I am looking for a rifle about $500 or less for both taking long range shots, 200-400 meters and to take with me in the woods on the off chance I see a coyote or two legged predator, I do have a 9mm pistol though. I'm not afraid of recoil so I have...

    Anything more damaging than a 12 gauge with buckshot?

    So the general consensus is the only thing with more stopping power than a shotgun is a bigger shotgun? Might just be my next gun, even if I never need it, which I hope I don't, it'll be fun to blow up old appliances before I haul them off.

    Anything more damaging than a 12 gauge with buckshot?

    Over penetration is not a huge issue all in all, I live on the 2nd floor, and while there is one other person on my floor where I would "hunker down" with my gun would be shooting off into the side of the house, which has 100 acres of trees past that. I just want something that would stop...

    Anything more damaging than a 12 gauge with buckshot?

    Is there anything short of a explosive or .50 BMG that is more damaging single shot than a 12 gauge with 00 buck shot? It would be like being shot 12 times.. A slug is .70 caliber if I remember right and some even expand. However a single shot 45/70 is in the same price range and they can be...
