[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 3049727, member: 14204"] It boils down to personal choice/preference. As you can see below, you have a big gap to fill. .22 cal = .22LR, 22-250, .223 .[B]24 cal = .25 cal = .26 cal = .27 cal = .28 cal =[/B] .30 cal = .30-06, .308 Win ,.300 WSM [B].33 cal =[/B] I do not care about the target part, but you must determine how far you can shoot at the game (i.e., antelope, deer, elk). "My" unwritten rule is 1500 FT-LBS for elk-size game and 1000 FT-LBS for deer-size game + > the recommended minimum velocity of the bullet at POI. Depending on your load for your .300 WSM, it can be a 1000Y elk chambering. Below is my current load for my .300 WSM. [ATTACH type="full"]549568[/ATTACH] I have 2 .300 WSMs, 3 .300 WMs, and a .30 LARA (improved .300 Jarrett), but the .300 WM remains my go-to chambering for antelope, deer, and elk up to 1000Y. Beyond that, I'd go with my .338 Thor (NMI). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
