[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 456495, member: 24624"] With the right ammo and conscientious shot placement, 22-250 can be a respectable deer rifle. But, it's probably not the best if you're talking about larger deer and/or longer ranges. So, I beleive you're basically looking for a short action cartridge with a .473" bolt face. I believe your choices include among others: 243 Winchester 260 Remington 7mm-08 Remington 308 Winchester 338 Federal 358 Winchester You might want to avoid long action (270, 30-06...) and borderline cartridges such as 6.5x284, unless you want it to be a single shot rifle. 308 is a proven all around cartridge with readily available ammo including match grade. Get the right twist rate so that you can shoot high BC bullets if long range is what you want. If you can be more specific about the type of hunting, I'm sure others will make some more specific recommendations. Happy hunting!! [/QUOTE]
