I have both. A 16†300 Whisper, 10.5†300 Blackout, 10.5 458 Socom, and a 7.5†458 Socom. Definitely different critters.

A .22 LR will get you just as dead and a 300 WM. It won't be as spectacular, but you’ll be just as dead. The caliber has nothing to dowith how someone handles a gun. My eight year old daughter has shot three deer.Two when she was seven. She used my 308 this year. I loaded some progressively lighter loads until she felt comfortable with the recoil. The length of the stock is the only problem she has. That is where the AR platform excels. For her ninth birthday I’m going to build a lavender AR chambered in 6.5 Grendel. Slap a collapsible stock on it and she will have a gun that grows with her.

My 8 year old hunts with a 300 Whisper and a down loaded 308. 6.8 would be good too.

My eight year old daughter shot a 4pt this morning with my 308. This is her third deer. I’m pretty stoked about having her as a hunting buddy. I was kind of worried when we had a girl, but she’s been going with me sinceshe was five and hunting for two years.

Most people never shoot over 100 to 150 yards so one gun is fine for them. I hunt a place like that. It’s a 200 acre plot that’s bordered by three neighborhoods. I use a suppressed short barreled rifle with subsonic ammunition. I limit my shots to 200 to 250 yards. (Short Range) I also hunt on a place where you can easily get shots out to 500 yards. For this I use a suppressed 308. (Medium range) I shoot steel out to 1000 yards. For that I use a 27†barreled 6.5 WSM. (Long Range) I have taken deer with this gun at extended ranges, but after I got into class III guns my focus changed. It’s hard to believe shooting 1000 yards can get boring. As for ethical shots, my loose rule is to hold your shots on deer to half the distance you routinely practice at.

This is what I got done a couple of years ago. This is the E-mail and response I received. On page 12 of the 2008-2009 Hunting and trapping guide there is inaccurate information. In the section Illegal Equipment #10, it states that it is illegal to possess a short barreled shotgun or rifle therefore it is unlawful to hunt with one. It has never been illegal to possess a short barreled rifle or shotgun. All you have to do is fill out a form 4 or form 1 as per ATF instructions. This includes a background check, finger print cards, and a sign off by the local Sheriff. This is sent to the ATF with a $200 check. The ATF dose a thorough background check and if you are clean you are given a $200 tax stamp on your form 4 or 1. You must keep this form with the gun at all times. The process takes up to four months. If it is your opinion that these firearms are dangerous due to their shorter barrel I refer you to page 16 Legal Equipment #6. It states that center fire handguns firing a single projectile and having a barrel length of four inches or more....... Some of the hand guns have 14 to 16 inch barrels on them, the addition of a stock would only make them safer to handle. I am not implying that some one should be able to hunt with a illegal firearm I am merely suggesting that the rules allow for someone who legally owns one of these firearms be aloud to hunt with them. Thank you for your time XXXXX XXXXXX The response I received Mr. XXXXX, You're e-mail has been forwarded to me for a response. Paragraph 10, page 12 of the 2008 Hunting & Trapping Guide incorrectly states why short barrel rifles and shotguns are illegal to use for hunting. The reason is because the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission has not proclaimed them for use in hunting. Thank you for bringing our attention to this matter. Sheryl D.

About 20 years ago I caught a round from an AK at the hairline. It traveled about an inch and a half under the skin and exited. You can still feel the groove in my skull.

Do you have a scope on it? If the screws are long they will go through the action and bind the bolt. The firing pin engagement will cause the bolt to be pushed up into the top of the receiver making it worse.

.22LR

It’s ok to shoot dead people. Live people, not so much.

All shot into wet newsprint @ about 1000 fps

I turned 28 that day.

God please let the war start while I’m young enough to participate.
