Author Topic: Big Bore Requirements? (Read 995 times)

I think there should be a minimum on topics discussed in this forum. Im thinking we should limit it to .40 and larger driving a 300 grain or larger bullet at or above 1500fps. Not to offend but I just dont think the 270, 7mm, 300mags, ect.... belong in this forum.
what do the rest of you all think??

In a way I agree. But to me it should be something like this;

1.] Tiny Bore - .17 up to but not including .243
2.] Small Bore - .243 up to but not including .284
3.] Medium Bore - .284 up to but not including .375
4.] Big Bore - .375 up to but not including .600

Anything bigger than that comes under the "Oh Momma" class. Lawdog

Lawdog,
That's reasonable. I could live with that.

I think LawDog hit it right on the head. I was just reading a post in the Big Bore forum about a .270 vs a 7mm. I had to make sure I was in the BIg Bore forum.

Is there a medium bore forum that I can ask some questions? I agree that it's not a big bore, but it's not a small bore either? Where can I ask questions?

Encore Kid - nope, not by that name but GrayBeard does have a great Encore and Contender forum just up the line, and there is also the General Hunting and Shooting Forum, and there is a Smallbore forum where folks will prolly think you are too big and ask you what you need all that power for ( :-D ), so it's six of one and half a dozen of the other, and you should have a lot of fun whichever way you go. HTH. Mikey.

I agree. If the Small Bore forum stops at .264 caliber and Big Bores start at say .375 caliber we need Graybeard to start a forum for us Medium Bore shooters. What say you fearless leader? How about a forum that covers everything over .264 but not including .375? Lawdog

I agree whole heartedly. I also thought I punched the wrong forum. I kinda figure the big bores start around .40 caliber,and go up to the sky after that. I shoot the .375H&H and go up from there to the .600nitro...stay safe....King
