[QUOTE="RockZ, post: 475591, member: 5750"] Do you handload? If not you will want to select a caliber that has alot of variety of factory loads available. That points to the .308. You should be able to find a load that will shoot well in .308. Plus the ammo for the .308 is usually a little less expensive and you can get it anywhere. The .308 isn't fancy but with 150gr bullet you will get plenty of velocity with reasonable recoil. Plenty of oomph at 500yds as well. Good job BB,with pics of all of the animals he mentioned!! If recoil is no problem I would go with the 7mm mag. It will give you lots of flexibility and you can extend your range easy as you get better [/QUOTE]
