[QUOTE="73driver, post: 1989942, member: 36473"] Hi Sam. I grew up hunting with an 06, taken lots of our AZ white tail with it and four bull elk. 06 is a solid choice. I switched over to 270 a while back and had great success with it. The ammo choice for 270 is very good. I prefer the Hornady 140gr SST Superformance load, I have taken at least 10 whitetails from 200-300 yards with that ammo. Currently am using the Federal Fusion 150gr 270 ammo in my new MOD 70 270. Just did a range session shooting it at 500y and when the first two rounds went in the 4inch bull just resting rifle over my pack, I put it away and worked with another rifle. Dial up on the 150gr Fusion at 500 was 9.25 MOA or 2.8 MIL's for you sniper types. Everything I said about 270 goes equal for the 308. My vote is 308 or 270. BTW I have shot couple thousand rounds of 6.5C at steel the last few years but just haven't taken it out hunting yet. You get a Howa 1500 for just over 400 at Sportsman's. [/QUOTE]
