Weatherby .308?? I thought it was a .300 Weatherby??
I figured a .308 Win has plenty of power, 300 Weatherby costs like hell and the amounts of powder required to get the last bit of oomph are definitely in the area of diminishing returns IMO. If I wanted a 300 mag I think the 300 Win Mag would do it.

When I worked at J.F.R., our lead crew chief, Austin Coil had one of those .30 Lazzeroni rifles. IIRC, the cartridge was a .404 Jeffery necked down to .30. The barrel life was only slightly over 2,500 rounds. :yikes:
Wow, that's a huge case.

There's a joke here somewhere but I can't quite get to it.  :zoinks:

Maybe you should ask PPK what a submarine is.  :eyebrows:

Long, hard and full of seamen.

How about:

"That's what SHE said!"




I have to agree with PPK, though. One quickly reaches the point of diminishing returns with ginormous powder loads from over-caliber cases pushing tiny bullets to higher velocities.

We could civilise you, educate you and show you how to lose weight
Come on over, the water is fine.


How did those guns escape from the safe?   :tinfoil:
Don't worry, they were given a day pass.  :thumbup:

I just now  realized that you took them out specifically to photograph them.
For awhile I thought that was your everyday decor!  :asthing:

One of the scenes that liners in my head is from Garrison's Gorrillas, a 1970's TV show based on the Dirty Dozen.  The guys were being taken to one of the Scandinavian countries on a mission when the submarine they were on was depth carged.  One of the guys pulled out his service revolver and one of the submarine crew asked him just what good he thought he could do with it.
