[QUOTE="Skimbleshanks, post: 2053135, member: 22552"] Its hard to say. When I was young I had a 22-250. Hunted lots of ground squirrels, a few coyotes and a few deer. I passed on a few marginal shots on big deer because of the caliber. I went to a 30-06 next not because I liked it but because it had a reputation for just working. Over time I really grew to like it for many reasons. Ive got a few guns from family that passed. I got my 308 because that rifle wasn't available in 30-06. My 338wsm was because no good bullets in 8mm. I should have just went with the 325wsm. There are plenty of bullets. I now find that argument stupid. "Only half a dozen bullets of xy or z caliber" yep and im only going to need 1 so... Most recently Im haveing a 7 mag built because I wanted something that shot a bit more flat, big enough for deer and elk, not a barrel burner, and mild enough recoil that I wouldn't need a muzzle brake.
