[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1552508, member: 85987"] I don't live out west so for me I'd want a 30 mag of some flavor. My first choice years ago was the 300 H&H. I rechambered it to 300wby and was more than happy. Today I have a 30 cal barrel 8tw in the safe. I thought I wanted a 300wsm on a howa long action. Then the PRC hit the market and I think I will go that route. I like the nosler but because I have to do the throat to correct for the big bullets it is another option that is a bit less attractive to me. I'd give up the prc for the wsm for what I want to do. I might even rechamber one of the 308's to 300wsm and build the prc on a custom action that will allow prefits as well. I have a 338 win mag but I like the 30's a bit better. I'd have no issues using a 270 if I lived there. I'm more than comfortable with the cartridge for killing stuff. But for me knowing I'd go 1 time I'd want to give myself every advantage for every opportunity I might get. A tough angle shot with a small caliber that may not get it done would be tough for me to swallow if that was the only shot I got in a hunt. [/QUOTE]
