[QUOTE="L2land, post: 2751655, member: 126164"] There’s no magic caliber. I think the 300 PRC is a great do it all if you want to go long and be able to just buy factory ammo. If you are building a custom and reloading it’s no better than whatever other magnum .30 you want pushing bullets. More than anything, if you want to be able to kill from afar you need to be able to shoot it a lot for practice. If you don’t want to carry a 10-11 lb rifle where you hunt then something like a 7 RM or 7PRC would be much less punishing in a lighter rifle. If you can’t put the fist shot on an 8” gong it’s out of range for you so finding that balance between weight of rifle and recoil that you can control is pretty key. Some people can make that happen regardless of recoil, if that’s you then go big and light!!! [/QUOTE]
