[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 187212, member: 2736"] Canuck Probably one of the best (All-around) cartriges for your requirements would be the 300 RUM. 1= A wide range of hunting bullets (110gr to 250gr) 2= Very flat shooting with lighter bullets and less recoil. 3= very good at long ranges with heaver bullets. 4= Mild recoil with a brake. 5= Can be very accurate if properly loaded. 6= And with a #3 or#4 barrel contour with a composite stock is very manageable for back packing. 7= Will fit on a standard mag (.534) boltface 700 Remingtion long action with little or no modifications to the action and make your gunsmith happy. 8= I would recomend a 1 in 10 twist barrel 26" long (minimum) for all around performance. 9= Also I would recomend a #5 or 5.5 taper and a laminate stock if no break is to be installed. 10= The 300 RUM is very popular and is not a wildcat so ammo and reloading components should be available for some time. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
