[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1452782, member: 101677"] I’m starting to think less in terms of cartridge capability and more in bullet capability. What bullet at what velocity am I wanting to shoot for optimum performance. For years a 168amax out of 308 gave me the accuracy and terminal performance I desired but it lacks in wind deflection. A 140 class 6.5 bullet fills that need for much of my shooting, but wanting more energy and bc of the 180 7mms, I’m rebarrelling my wore out 257 to a 7rm. I have a hankering to launch some of those 95smks, not sure what cartridge I want to use yet. I have a 300wby for the big game, I’m not a believer that you need a 300mag to kill an elk but if you can shoot one well or even bigger bullets then you should. I have a 240wby, love shooting it but have always felt the 243 cal on the edge for deer, at least a big Muley. I have a 14twist 22-250 that thinks it’s a benchrest gun, but 50gr vmax just don’t have the range I want for coyotes anymore so it doesn’t get used much and for a truck varmit gun a 204 with 32gr is about perfect IMO [/QUOTE]
