Howdy all,
I want to build another hunting rifle. Just a general all around short range to long range carry it across NA hunting rifle. Not an eastern deer rifle, not a canyon rifle, just a lifelong hunting rifle.
I've got most of the components coming together in my head but before I send out my card info I need to pick a cartridge.
Front runners for me are currently
30-06
7RM
300 win mag
Brass availability, loaded ammo availability, bullet choice, recoil, all that crap goes into the choice.
I'm currently leaning toward 30-06 because it's just everywhere, has Lapua brass support, and with a 215 berger has some incredible ballistics. I've always been interested in 7 mags and own a couple but... meh kind a 30 cal guy.
All right, spend my money.
