Weird cartridges

Found this today, not sure what ever became of it. Looks like an old story.
Has a great name if nothing else

Before the internet the only thing you had to read about hunting/fishing/guns etc were a handful of magazines.


But those were men, and their writing never once included the term puffy, winny, remmy, or leupy.


But they did use the term pill to describe bullets, and that might worse than all the above.

I had seen another form of the eargespliton loudenboomer some years ago.
This one was based more as an experiment on how small you cound neck a cartridge down.
Was a 50 BMG case with 4 distinct shoulders.
Practical? No.
But interesting.

There was a rifle for sale a couple of years ago. 22-06.
Came with 2 extra barrels already chambered.

Recommended Uses: The 510 Allen Magnum was designed primarily as a heavy long range and extreme range target and competition wildcat. The goal is to increase the ballistic performance of the 50 BMG by adding velocity to what the parent case can produce. The 510 A.M. does this very well. Velocity gains in the 150 to 200 fps range are not uncommon using same weight bullets. The 750 gr. A-Max is the recommended bullet simply because it has a good BC, its easy to purchase and is generally very user friendly and accurate. The 510 A.M. can also be used very effectively for big and heavy game hunting at pretty much any range you can effectively place your bullets into the vitals of a big game animal. For this secondary purpose of big game hunting, the 750 gr. A-max is a very good choice as it is considered an expanding bullet design which is required by many western states for big game hunting. The 510 A.M. is excessively powerful for any big game hunting but with proper shot placement it is of course fully capable of cleanly harvesting any big game animal on the planet easily and do so with BR class accuracy.

Effective Range: The effective range of the 510 Allen Magnum, much like the 338 and 375 Allen Magnum, is more limted by the shooters ability to shoot a 50 caliber class weapon and read enviornmental conditions more then the performance of the chambering itself. For consistant target shooting, the 510 A.M. will offer sustained supersonic velocity out to slightly over 3000 yards in most elevations and shooting conditions. For big game hunting, the 510 A.M. carries WELL over 1 ton of kenetic energy even out to 3000 yards and with its 0.510" bullet frontal diameter, it has more then enough power to cleanly kill most big game animals at this range. That said, because of the relatively long time of flight of the 510 A.M., it is not recommended to hunt big game at ranges much past 1800 yards simply because of the amount of distance a big game animal can move in the time of flight to reach the target at longer ranges. This is simply a recommendation but one based in alot of experience in the field.

Pros: Extremely accurate, very powerful, great bullets, common powders and Extreme WOW factor!!

Cons: Rifles are very long and heavy (30 lb min), Requires fireforming brass, extreme muzzle blast, requires special handloading equipment.

I used to draw up wildcats to pass the time on my night job in my college days. A few matched cartridges that have since come to market. I think it's pretty much all been done at some point.

A great thing about the interweb is instead of actually doing the weird cartridges you can search up where someone else already did it to satisfy your curiosity. I think I'll go read about 7 WSSM again.

This video just made me laugh so hard!

There was a gun shop in a local feed store here locally. It is closed now. The owner had a rifle chambered in .256 Newton, I wish I would have token a leap and bought it…

Pick up PO Ackley's books, lots of weird to peruse. https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Sho...2&refinements=p_27:P.O.+Ackley&s=books&sr=1-1

Oooooh, let’s do a necked down 6mm-375 Ruger. I’m feeling that could get a 85gr mono about 4,600fps. Don’t be pussies and moan about barrel life. Grossly overbore firebreather.

It's crazy to think of a bullet going a mile a second.

The 6.5 Creedmore!!!

 

[UrbanHunts]

New to hunting and hunting rifles, have been reading many things on the different calibers. Is .308 Win still a good hunting caliber? .308 is by no means strange or rare, I have noticed that most rifles are either .308 or some form of 6.5, also that most of manufacturers say that there is major drop off after about 200 no matter how much powder is on the round. Where does it compare to something more expensive like .257wby?

.308 is a great hunting round. I'd be happy hunting with a .308 over a .257 wby, only because of ease of locating ammo

Okay so no .308. Is .280 Ackley Improved too common?
