[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1333652, member: 12995"] "Best" is subjective and should be accounted for on a per-situational basis. In other words, hunting coyotes with a .338 Edge just MIGHT be a bit overkill... Recommending a .25-06 or a .223 might make more sense. Now, if you are asking about our opinions of the best large-game cartridges for North America, then I would have to go with my same old opinion as always...The main cartridge I have used for almost 16 years... The tried-and-true, long-proven, still extremely popular (for good reason), and the long-range capable... 7mm Remington Magnum. It is capable on large game (whitetails all the way up to elk, moose, and caribou) from point-blank to 1000 yards. Very manageable recoil with and without muzzle brakes. Very large bullet, and factory ammo selection, and ammo can be bought just about everywhere ammo is sold. The cartridge is extremely efficient. High-quality brass can be found anywhere. Barrel life can be 1,500+ rounds if taken good care of and not overheated. Even lightweight pack rifles in 7mmRM have very manageable recoil. [/QUOTE]
