[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1561085, member: 3455"] Yay, somebody wants to play in my sandbox ... finally. You got some tough ones. 1) Easy first: 22-250, wssm and 243 don't do anything 6.5x55 already done. Throw in an 1895 6mm Lee Navy in the mix ... and again 20th century is down the drain. 2) 50BMG, 416 Barret - 50bmg was not designed to be a rifle cartridge all together. Same goes for it's neck-down little brother. It is awesome that they can develop a firearm that can be carried by a human - but it's not technically a rifle by definition: "firearm [b]designed[/b] to be fired from the [b]shoulder[/b]". I'm sure you can find someone shooting a 30lb gun off hand, but it was not designed to be such. 3) 338 Lapua - that's a bad mofo. Honest replacement for 45-70: same recoil, same bullet weight - but shoves it WAAAAAAAY out there. It's not really in competition with "medium bore" rifles - it creates a bridge to heavy machine gun cartridges. The only thing I can say - how often do you need 1000ft/lb at 1500 yards - just call in the air strike :) 4) 300 Win Mag - hmmm pushes 6.5x55 point blank whopping 6 yards, kicks 50% harder and has a cool yet useless belt ... another waste.
