[QUOTE="Northman, post: 74338, member: 4274"] This is supposed to be my first rifle. But I dont want a 308 that everybody seems to get for their first rifle. It's supposed to be a all-around rifle, for target, and the very very rare hunting opportunity. For this I will need a hunting round heavier than 140 grain and energi of 2100ft/lbs at a 100 yards. (Special rules in my country) So I'm most likely to use heavier bullets than 140 grain.. I don't want to go up into a magnum, because I know it burns the barrels faster. So I'm wondering what case I could neck up/down to get a good caliber. I want speed, but not a fast barrel burner. Right now, I only know of using the 30-06 case, and the 284 Win.. is there any other case to use, without going up to a magnum? BUT.. If I use a magnum, is there a good one to load it down to use for target practice, and just use some hot loads for when I'll go hunting? That way, I wont kill the barrel to fast.. [/QUOTE]
