[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 822632, member: 880"] All the rifles I have have been built for long range, they are heavy and in 223, 243, 308, and the last a light barrel 284 Win. with high magnification scopes that well at 40 yards you just see fur :-) I have used these rifles in the woods a couple times (all but the 308 and 284) and while they work I'm more worried about the bullet traveling too far since there are houses around the area, I'm safe, don't get the shakes, hit where I aim and don't shoot in the direction of the houses but still in the back of my mind the "What if" pops up! I take neck shots 98% of the time due to I don't want some deer going off to die in the neighbors yard and upsetting someone plus I hate to track so accuracy is a huge must could that be accomplished with say a 357 or better yet a 357 Max (I'm not a pistol guy) but in a carbine/rifle? don't think I need anything bigger I mean these are just deer and the 223 with neck shots drops them like a rock. Guys I love my CZ in 17 Rem but like 99% of my other rifles I would like to build. Anyone know much about a 358? Hooker, the rounds I shoot work wonderful on deer but I'm more concered about when the bullet passes thru then I loose control of where it goes can't help it I guess I'm a control freak LOL Sorry about the babble!
