[QUOTE="coyote wacker, post: 2890028, member: 93683"] If by chance you might hunt a State that requires a cartridge under 1.8" and over 35 caliber....450 Bushmaster is a great cartridge for shots pushing 300 yards.....it also is the same bolt face as the 308.... Myself I developed a 160 gr. Flat Base Raptor in .451" available from Cutting Edge Bullets every deer except one that I have shot in the past 9 years were DRT several bucks close to 250 lbs field dressed....keeping to 38'000 psi in a 16" barrel no problem getting 2700 fps and safe in a AR-15.....start loading to 60'000 psi in a bolt action only no problem getting 3000 fps....
