[QUOTE="rdsii64, post: 246936, member: 13978"] considering the animals you want to hunt and the requirement for reasonable recoil, I would not shoot any of those calibers and go with the tried and true .30-06. When compared to the calibers you mentions the .30-06 is a ***** cat when it comes to recoil. Short of the big grizzly bears, a well placed shot from an '06 will anchor anything that is legal to shoot in north America. with the '06 you have the versatility of bullets from as light as 147 grains to as heavy as 210 grains. and I promise, if you have the marksmanship skill and do your part, a .30-06 will anchor anything on your list out to 800 yards. Also ammunition for an '06 won't cost as much as your magnum calibers. [/QUOTE]
