[QUOTE="dakotakidd, post: 1515268, member: 77824"] I'm ordering a Kimber Montana for my wife and better do it soon to get it my Christmas. I'm just undecided on the caliber. It's between 6.5 creedmoor, 7mm08 and 308. I own a couple 6.5s and one 7mm08 so i have dies, brass, powder and bullets assuming I can get the Montana to shoot with some combination of bullet and power I already have would simplify things. It will be used mostly for deer and antelope but possibly elk in the future. I think with a good bonded bullet they are all capable within 2-300 yards. Is there any benefit to one cartridge as far as ease of loading or one more inherently accurate than the others, or does that come down to the rifle?(Which I know is a touchy subject with a lot of guys, but I like the Montanas and I think they're a good value for a light mountain rifle) Let me know what you think. Open to your opinions. [/QUOTE]
