[QUOTE="adrexco, post: 1214048, member: 88101"] I would say that the first decision is if you want to go with a commercially established or a specialty cartridge. By this I mean one that is in widespread use where ammunition is made by multiple manufactures (e.g. 300WM, 7RM, etc) or one that is single sourced / wildcat (e.g. 26, 28 , 30 Nosler, 7STW, etc). This is a personal choice based on a lot of things (e.g. availability, price, hand loading, load information, ballistics, etc.). In a commercially established cartridge it's hard to beat the 7 rem mag, or the 300 win mag. Very capable ballistics with many choices of ammo availability even in remote areas. In the specialty cartridges, it's hard to beat the new Noslers. They bring state of the art technology for using the latest powders and bullets with mechanical dimensions that work in many standard long actions. What works for me is a light weight 7RM with 24" barrel as my "grab and go" rifle, and a 28 Nosler with 26" braked barrel as my high tech do anything rifle. [/QUOTE]
