[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1251320, member: 4566"] Yes the 7mm WITH CURRENT BULLET AVAILABILITY is probably the best LR choice. However a big 30 always works, the 270 is starting to matter with the 170 and other offerings and the 338 will trump them all except for the newer 375 offerings. The real equation is all mathematical. How fast can you drive a certain BC and still handle carrying and shooting it? If you hunt from a truck maybe a 50 lb 375. Walk some but on the flat? A 14 lb 338. Walk a bunch but not recoil shy? 12 lb 300 Walk a bunch and like your teeth not kicked out? 10 lb 7mm All of what you mentioned will do the job. Best to look at it as math. All guns nowadays are incredible. Just depends on your exact application and your hunting style I'm a truck hunter. Gun rarely gets over 100 ft from my truck. I shoot a 30 lb 338 at everything including prairie dogs. I have humped it miles before and wished it was lighter until I had a shot. [/QUOTE]
