[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 846338, member: 12995"] How experienced of a hunter are you? Do you get buck fever and tend to shake and have the tendency to not calmly think things through which can lead to potentially making not-so-great shots (gut shots or shoulder shots)? If so, get a bigger more forgiving caliber, like the 300 WinMag that will punch through that shoulder. If you are a calm experienced hunter who takes his time lining up his shots, checks his shot angle, and visualizes where it will enter and exit at, and know what vitals he's going to hit and where they're located behind the shoulder (not IN the shoulder)....Then a smaller caliber will be fine like a .25-06, .257 Wby, or a .257 Roberts +P. I like .257 and 7mm calibers, personally. But I also have .22 calibers, and .30 and .338 calibers as well. [/QUOTE]
