[QUOTE="Good, post: 472064, member: 18866"] When looking at all the choices, and factoring in factory ammo, I would take a good, hard look at the 7 Rem Mag. The rounds can be had at Wal Mart or anywhere else, if you hand load (I know, he doesn't) you can take advantage of newer powders and the 180g bullets, and if you purchase a premium form of ammo it generally isn't as expensive as the STW or RUMs or chamberings of that nature. You can get the 168 bergers in factory ammo though. Saying that, the barrel will also last longer than those others I mentioned. With a decent weight, it will not need a brake either. All that said, a buddy shoots a .308 that is very accurate. My 308 isn't bad either and ammo is readily available and very inexpensive, relatively. Ballistically though, for the listed criteria, I'm looking at the 7 Rem Mag. [/QUOTE]
