[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2326878, member: 87371"] When I see one of these posts where people are suggesting everything from .22-250 to .338 RUM for shooting whitetail deer to 400 yards, I have to chuckle. We certainly have a wealth of options available to us in the USA! So I'll add one that no one has mentioned. Availability of loaded ammo is pretty good, accuracy is good, and you can have a classic rifle/caliber that is all your own. That would be the 7X57 Mauser. It is the parent cartridge for the .257 Roberts, so you can impress your friends by calling it a 7-.257, or you can call it by the British designation of .275 Rigby! It's a comfortable cartridge to shoot, and 7 mm bullets kill very effectively. Just my $.02. [/QUOTE]
