Unique Calibers of Low Recoil

I have a Marlin 27 pump rifle in .25-20 for sale now in the classifieds. I don't consider the .25-20 a deer cartridge, but many old timers killed a lot of deer with the .25-20. I cast bullets and reload for it. A .25-20, 87grain hard cast bullet can be driven 1700 to 1900 fps very easily. With the rifle and a peep sight it will manage a 100 yard 5" group, off-hand. Also very little noise.

I also have a Remington 14 pump in .25 Remington (the equivalent would be a .30-30 necked down to a .257 caliber). Brass was once hard to come by, but Graf & Sons is now selling new brass with their name as the head stamp; in .25 and .30 Remington. Mine wears a 50's vintage Weaver scope and shoots 1.5" group with 125 grain Speer Mag points and CFE powder.
 
The 7mm Mauser fits the bill. A good hunting round and not hard on the shoulder either. Some of the pre model 98 Mausers can be gotten real reasonable too...

I'll throw another vote for the 6.5x55...based on the one I had built, it is the most accurate I've owned.

The 260 Remington is a low recoiling caliber you won't find in many gun safes.

You'll find one in my safe, along with the aforementioned Swede and a Win M70 264 Win Mag.....just thinking about what my next 6.5 will be......

Low recoil!!!! LOL!!


If you want to be unique, get yourself a T/C Contender. 25-35 Winchester, 30 Harrett, 7-30 Waters, and lots more.
Send your buddy down to Walmart to pick up a couple boxes of that ammo for you.:D
But handloading is necessary for some chamberings, and advisable for others in order to bring out their best in a 'Tender.
