    The .376 Steyr was developed in joint venture of Steyr and Hornady around 1989 Jeff Cooper also had some influence in it development for use in his Steyr Scout rifle for hunting dangerous game in Africa. It’s performance is slightly behind the .375 H&H.

    Bunnies with snow on the ground was my favorite with a .22lr pistol! I would look for their breath in the cold.. Now days very few bunnies are around along with upland game birds. The best is the G2 pack from Eberlestocks. 22-250 needs a fast twist barrel to shoot heavy bullets over 55 grains

    .50 Beowulf is the biggest for an AR-15, but Big Horn Armory out of Wyoming make an AR called the 500 Auto Max. It's the baddest AR that will likely ever be. It's a rimless version of the .500 S&W cartridge that they run through their Model 89 lever action rifles. Some beautiful, crazy stuff coming out of that Wyoming shop.

      I was able to hook up Hickok45 with Big Horn Armory some years back just through RUclips, but things (communications) have changed a bit since then. They sent him a model 89, but I feel he didn't fall in love with it like I was so sure he would have. He's a big fan of big bore, but .500 S&W is a bit more violent than 45-70; and besides that, the rifle they sent him had a little issue with the lever not latching all the time. I'm sure they got some good from the interlude simply due to Hickok45's massive following, but if the rifle wouldn't have had that minor lever hiccup, I'm sure it would have served them better.

    Hi Ron. I'm no expert on the 376 Steyr, but I'll give you what I know. Hornady, Steyr and Jeff Cooper all had a hand in developing it. Naturally Cooper was going with his "scout" style rifle at the time (late 90s, early 2000). A short, fat case with a bit of a rebated rim. That was the flavor of the day back then. Also Cape Buffalo hunts were relatively inexpensive at that time, so the .375 bet the legal requirements of all nations. The "scout" style rifle was designed to be short and handy, so a really good idea. I'm not sure if anyone except Steyr built rifles for it. Steyr's, as I'm sure you know, are nice rifles, but limited in availability in the US and rather spendy. I think only Hornady loaded ammo for it, maybe RWS or Norma for the European market. Ruger might have offered it in their mod. 77 Scout.
    Performance wise it's about 150 fps slower than the 375 H&H. Which would make it about even with the 9.3x64 or 9.3x62, with a slightly bigger diameter. And better overall than the old 35 Whelen AI. Once the 375 Ruger came along to fill the standard length action need/desire for a 375 bullet the 376 Steyr didn't stand a chance. I'd assume, you know what they say about "assume", that the 376 Steyr is all but done and dusted.
    All the best to you Ron and keep up the good work.
    Cheers, Jeff.

My craziest jackrabbit shot shot along it was a twofer. A jack jumped, froze, and I put a 50-gr. from a 223 Rem. through its chest. When I reached it, there were two lying there! Never did see the second one before or during the shot. Good to hear from another SD hunter!

    • @TexanUSMC8089
      @TexanUSMC8089 2 года назад +1

      In my opinion, most 264 win mag factory rifles have a 1:9 twist rate. That means they shoot 120-130 gr bullets the best, but should do fine with 140gr. I think anything from 120-140gr is great for deer and antelope. If you already have one, then use it. If you're looking for a 6.5/264 caliber...I like 6.5 PRC. It's all going to come down to each person's opinion, but I would move up to 7mm rem mag or larger caliber for elk and moose. If you're a person that likes to use one rifle, then use it and just learn how it shoots and use a tough bullet for larger games. Maybe a 264 win mag with a 140gr nosler partition or a solid copper bullet for larger game. What would be a bad idea for me might work just fine for you though. I'm getting older and don't want to crawl and stalk around in the brush to get a closer shot anymore. LOL

      Jake, I question whether foxes and coyotes are your main problem. They certainly key on cottontails, but if escape habitat is good, cottontails continue to thrive. I've seen this in many states, esp. SD and KS where dense, brushy habitat is filled with cottontails AND coyotes/foxes/bobcats, coons, skunks, weasels, mink, badgers, owls, snakes, and various hawks. Yet in areas that are overgrazed, or heavily farmed with poor escape habitat, few or no cottontails. Escape cover is essential.

So perhaps the rabbits will come with that.

      @jfess1911 2 года назад +1

      The 35 Remington has a smaller case, runs at lower pressures and generally uses low-BC round or flatnosed bullets. You can think of it as a slightly enlarged, rimless 30-30. The 35 Whelen is the 30-06 case loaded with a larger-diameter bullet, and is much more powerful. With a 200 grain bullet, the 35 Whelen produces about 2,100fps and 1950ft-lbs energy and the 35 Whelen closer to 2,800fps and 3,500ft-lbs of energy. The Whelen can shoot more streamlined bullets faster, giving it a longer effective range.
