Magnumitis.... why is it so?

Then, what has the Kangaroo code got to do with magnum cartridges?

Go back a few more pages and you can ask exactly the same question with any number of variables that have come up in this thread

One consideration is that if you wish to hunt Sambar you're. 270 entry point is only a short skip and a jump away from "small" magnum territory anyway.
For me the felt recoil of one mates Tikka T3 30-06 vs anothers Remington 700 300WM was barely noticeable, which was why I chose a 300WM for a stalker, because well why not, not planning on using it for anything smaller than Sambar and dont plan on pumping massive amounts of rounds through it anyway.

Oh and one cool thing about not minding the magnums is the second hand market seems to be full of bargains.

Now I get to justify shopping around for a .243 or 7x57/7mm-08 for the smaller stuff.

Magnum Mortadella

Because sometimes a normal mortadella is just not enough

Bretts fault.... he seems to veer of the topic from time to time and talk about cocktails savs and his boudoir antics...

Not having a go mate but that's a poor and obviously argument.

"Just head shot" is one of the most useless pieces of advice out there that too many guys just out to stroke their own ego repeat over and over.

No one can head shot perfectly every time, no one. It's perfectly sensible and ethical to opt for a calibre that will effectively and humanely kill with a variety of shot placements from head to chest.

Not having a go at you, just at the "head shot everything" line of thinking in general.

And yet head shots are required when shooting kangaroos.
https://www.environment.gov.au/biodiver ... angaroos#2

"The Code sets an achievable standard of humane conduct and is the minimum required of persons shooting kangaroos."

"Point of aim

Conditions

A shooter using a rifle must aim so as to hit the target kangaroo in the brain (see diagram in Schedule 2), except in the case of an injured or wounded animal where a brain shot may be impractical.
A shooter using a shotgun must aim so that, whether the target kangaroo is stationary or mobile, it will be hit in the head, neck or chest by the centre of the pattern."

It is a Code of practice, which is only the 'law' if specifically referred as a requirement by a ....'law'...

That is, if say the Wildlife Act (VIC) refers to the code and say the code must be complied with - then its law, otherwise, the code is only a suggestion.

But if you have a permit to cull 'roos isn't it a requirement of the permit that you adhere to the code?

Destroying the brain on a kangaroo would be significantly different to destroying the brain on a buffalo; where the whole 'head shot with a 303' argument began.

Yes, if the code is referenced by the 'law'...maybe it is; not all codes are referenced is what I'm saying, some, including some OH&S codes of practice are/were not, and hence represented a suggestion only.

EDIT to add, the permit to control roos in Vic states;

....DELWP also recommends that you read the National Code of Practice for the Humane Shooting of Kangaroos and Wallabies for Non-Commercial Purposes before shooting kangaroos...

'Recommend' is not 'requires', and the Wildlife Act makes no reference (permits are issues in accordance with Wildlife Act in Vic)

Destroying the brain on a kangaroo would be significantly different to destroying the brain on a buffalo..............

Because its a Buffalo, right?

Well, yes, actually. Skull structure, bone density and all that. Product of evolution.....

Iv'e only got one mate who actually shot loads of Buffalo in the NT

His callable of choice was a .338 Win Mag

Although this thread has gone kind of off the rails, with graphics of skippies head with X marking the spot and all that, anybody who has shot a lot, and doesn't flinch, can take advantage of a magnums higher muzzle velocity. less wind drift, flatter trajectory. Better metallurgy means barrel life is not an issue like it was in the past. If you hand load. expense is no longer an issue. If people are gonna argue you don't need the power, then why not apply that nagging bitchiness to fast cars and motorbikes, I mean, why don't we all drive a Prius or step thru scooters?

My personal preference is the plain old 308 Winchester and I'm considering going to 7mm08, but for the guys that shoot the 300s and 338 magnums I'm all for that too. One day I might just get me a 338RUM just for the gongs.

Did you read the garbage MRWinchester "contributed" to this thread?
But my post was the derailment?
When discussing the merits of cartridge effectiveness I think accuracy is actually relevant to the discussion

Time to go and polish my barrel

[Oldbloke]

Men are like wine
Women are like cheese

Must be true what they say about going down on grandma being like pulling a cheese sandwich apart

I need to bring this thread back o n track.
I would just like to remind u blokes that I'm in the best position to comment about the more more mature of us and our depraved activities.
As Im the most experienced and most mature I would like to remind you all that whether, white, black, Yellow, young or mature, all women are pink inside and wet when it's needed. And that's what counts.
Now if you have a dick as big, hard and fast as mine all you would need for all the shootable game and pests in the land is a 22rf or a pocket knife.

And as Brett mentioned earlier if you want to see a live porn show just visit the local elderly home.

[<<Genesis93>>]

You're just lucky, you dirty old fart, that the mods/admin only check in every week or so....

[brett1868]

Maybe Oldbloke's changed his meds as I don't remember him ever being this funny, cracked me up a couple times today.

Its the extra strong stout. Puts you in a jolly mood and extra lead in the pencil. Oops I mean big dick.

[darwindingo]

Sounds like a good brew OB... You're on fire.. Are you wearing the gimp mask ?

[Oldbloke]

No, not tonight. The gimp mask is strictly Saturday nights only.

PS. Sounds like you young blokes need to start drinking stout.
