[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1660866, member: 69192"] MSP, I am considered to be "Ole School", and will stick with that if it makes some feel better; I'm not into the new designer cartridges. I do like the older cartridges because many of them are [I]time tested[/I], and....they work. I have a 35 Whelen, 358 Winchester, 45-70 and a .270 Ackley Improved<because I wanted one instead of the 280AI. With that I am thinking about a new build, I presently have a Ruger 77 chambered in 30-06; I like Ruger 77 actions. So....been kicking around just do a build with truing the action (blueprinting), a good trigger, and putting a good barrel on it and chamber it to 30-06; they work. Or another good cartridge that I like is the 338-06; hits like the hammer of Thor, a good bullet selection and about the same recoil as the 30-06. Trajectory wise, with a 225 gr bullet, the 30-06 and the 338-06 are about the same, only the 338-06 delivers a bit more punch. I believe that just as important as the cartridge is the [I]bullet selection[/I] for the game that you want to hunt. With all of the new bullets that are out on the market today, bullet selection seems to be as important as cartridge/caliber. [/QUOTE]
