[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1191793, member: 1656"] When you mention wanting to hunt stuff bigger than deer at non-long range, IMHO this puts you at 7mm minimum, 30cal ideal. People can argue, it's opinions and preferences, there are not facts here. Given that your long range objectives are targets and not game, I recommend you not punish yourself with the magnums in these calibers unless you brake them. My LR hunting rig is a 300WM but the round count is pretty low per year. It is just so much more fun to shoot my 243AI. But I'm not going to hunt elk with that. All points considered the .30-06 is a solid recommendation. [/QUOTE]
