[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2405523, member: 30902"] There's a whole lot of less punishing rounds that accomplish all that. The OP is 18 and hasn't even started hunting yet, we're trying to keep his expectations in line with his budget and reality. I know personally the 375Ruger can be quite effective at 600yds and that's probably more enough to fulfill all his needs for at least 20 years. We haven't even gotten to the discussion yet about what it costs to shoot these boomers but 5.00-7.00 a round for factory ammo or more will eat most people's hunting and shooting budget up before they ever leave on the first hunt. Honestly, he'd be better off getting something cheap to shoot that will take care of all his hunting in N. America for a decade or so and where he can learn the finer parts of reloading without breaking the bank like the evil 6.5's, 7mm's or .30's. I ran short of ammo recently and begrudgingly bought some factory 300 Rum and 375 Ruger just to finish the season since all my reloading gear is packed away and almost had a stroke! [/QUOTE]
