[QUOTE="Brad Norman, post: 2702038, member: 33163"] Like many others on this site, I've hunted with quite a few different rifles in various calibers. I've settled on the opinion after decades of trial and error that the .270 Winchester is really the best "all around" cartridge to use for big game on this continent. The caliber you have already will work just fine though if you're comfortable with it. If you want something lighter that shoots flat and doesn't recoil excessively you can't go wrong with a good quality rifle chambered in the grand old .270 cartridge. If you're building a custom rifle, I'd suggest going with a 1:8 twist so you can take advantage of the newer high-BC heavy-for-caliber .277 bullets which won't stabilize in standard 1:10 twist barrels. Whatever you decide, happy hunting Sir! [/QUOTE]
