A clean No1 in .30-06 is perpetually on my list of things I want but it hasn't moved quite far enough up the list to become a must have. I really need to change that...

Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits - Mark Twain
Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy / Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
I used to love mine in .45-70 - only hated shooting it! Could have fixed that with smart loads and the right recoil pad, but I was too young and dumb back then to know you could do anything except run a rifle the way it came out of the box.
I've heard plenty of arguments against a single shot for hunting (inability to fire a quick followup shot if game isn't anchored in one shot being the primary), but I haven't fired a round at a living 4-legged creature in over 20 years, and I'm primarily punching holes in paper nowadays, so none of those things matter much to me anymore.
I知 currently deciding on what caliber Number 1 I want to purchase. 357 Magnum, 30/30 Winchester, 303 British, 6.5 Creedmoor. Odd choices, I know, but this would be for fun, maybe limited hunting, thus the odd caliber thoughts.
When I get it, I値l send it here for his English remodel:

Nice! I vote for .30-30, and have it re-chambered for .30-30 Ackley Improved.
I am a big fan of 6.5x55. I hunted with a nicely sporterized Swedish Mauser Model 38 for many years.
Update: I suddenly, and for no explicable reason other than I can, added 22 Hornet to the list.
