2 3/4" 12g slugs.
the twelve gauge pump action rifle round.

7x65r bc it's the only one i can shoot and the only one have ever shot beside .22lr

>>33449406

.308 hands down

It does everything relatively effectively and has a appreciable yet comfy kick to it.

.454 because rifle-velocity handguns are rad.

8mm

Second for .308. It's been my favorite cartridge since I was a wee lad.

I like 165 grain Hornady SSTs in my .308. They look nice, group nice, and can be pushed a little faster than 175 grain match ammo with little accuracy difference.

>>33449535
All the .308 family cartridges are pretty swell. .243, .260, 7mm-08. .243 is probably the most useful where I live, but 7mm-08 really deserves more love for being a great all around NA cartridge.

5.45
38 special
45 ACP

45 GAP has been nice

What's the recoil of .308 compared compared to 7.62x54r from a Mosin nugget?

I've just bought a K98, cheap because some fuckwad roughly scratched off the most obviouse proof mark and only that one, and I want to display it next to one of every type of bullet that was produced for it during The War, I think I'll probably have trouble with all of the more specialist ammunition;
but first on the list of things I'm looking for but can't find is something called "spitzgeschoß mit hartkern".
It's a shortened bullet with a larger propellant charge and a tungsten-carbide core that was produced from the beginning of German re-armament to the middle of the war for anti-tank use.

Anything else I can't find I can probably make myself, eventually, but I don't think I can form a tungsten-carbide cored shortened bullet.
So, if any of you guys here in the bullet thread know of anywhere I can buy specialist WWII German rifle ammunition, or can give me advice on makeing something so weird and ridiculous, I'd appreciate some advice.

Other stuff I'm looking for is Spitsgeschoß mit Kern, Liechtes Spitsgeschoß, and tracer; just in case anyone has any that thaey might be willing to part with.

Much more comfortable, especially since most modern .308 rifles come with a butt pad.

>>33450082
Depends on the rifle. If you get a lightweight plastic stocked rifle, you're going to have probably equal felt recoil compared to the nugget. Get something in wood with a little more weight to it and it'll be less. It's not a round that'll beat you up by any means.

>>33450082

Noticeably less but not by a huge difference, at least for me. It was like the difference between a firm shove and a punch. 54r I could not see myself shooting for an extended period of time comfortably whereas the recoil for .308 felt more drawn out than sharp, making it manageable.

458 and 44! Pic related

But really, I'm looking forward to 6.5CM

My favorite round to shoot is 5.45x39 with 5.56 running a close second. Ill admit i like 5.45 better for no other reason than that I am a complete autist about AK's

My nigga. Except .45 colt dominates out of a lever gun/ ruger revolver
