This might get peoples hackles up on here but here it goes. This is after an afternoon of me pigeon shooting in a wood of about 1/2 acre in size. There was rape one side and Mustard/Charlotte the other. We had a hard frost the night before and the wood has a big barn inside. I was stood by the barn so i had a reasonably clear scope of shooting. I had 22 pigeons, 3 rooks, 6 Crows, 3 Jackdaws and 2 Magpies. The picture only shows the pigeons as the Corvids ended up in the pigs that surrounded the wood. Only fired 60 shots all afternoon too!!

Sorry mate now.

 

 

Can I just ask, without being rude, why the foof do you want a WSM?! Within a year cases etc will be impossible to get hold of due to the fact even the Yankees' don't like them!

 

 

IMHO They don't do anything a .270 (Unfashionable at the moment I know, but still one of the finest medium game/medium-long range calibers ever made) will do.

 

If you want something a little better than a .270 but still shizzle hot look at the .280

6.5x55 is the new .270

Depends what your doing IMHO. A 6.5x55 is a great woodland rifle, sub 200m I don't think it can be beaten, but once you get out to 200-300m then the trajectory is so loopy its like firing over the rainbow.

 

 

I think that the .270 is probably the best off the self hill calibre about, apart from maybe a .30-06 if your man enough. I reckon more deer have been killed up north with a .270 than anything else, though maybe a .243 is getting close these days.
