[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 1930183, member: 53978"] Sometimes it helps to get wider perspectives. In my opinion everything from a 270/7mm through the 300's (308Win, 300WM, etc), 338WM, 35 Whelen, 9.3x62 are good, all around, [B]medium[/B] caliber hunting rounds. The 375Ruger and 375H&H are in a marginal zone. [B]Magnums[/B] start with the [B]416[/B]'s. Recoil can be re-assuring. But since this is the Long Range Forum I do see extra value in sending a particular caliber's bullets a little faster than for normal hunting. People like to call them magnums but the same bullets do the work. The 30-06, 300WM, and 300PRC all send out the same bullets. Anyway, if caliber size is new, you might try shooting some 375's and 458's. Then the difference between a 7mm and a 300 will not relate to bigness and you can concentrate on whichever rifle and bullets you want to hunt with. [/QUOTE]
