[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1153823, member: 12995"] I think everyone overlooked that his max shooting distance was 250 yards, and only gave an opinion of the cartridges he mentioned... For that distance (and farther), a .308 Win would be perfect for both target and hunting, and for his first rifle. It is a very easy cartridge to reload for, factory ammo can be found anywhere, and barrel life is not much of a concern unless he plans on shooting 5,000-10,000 rounds. A 7mm-08 would also be a good option. A .280 AI would be perfect. The old tried & true .30-06 would also be a good candidate. [/QUOTE]
