[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1862054, member: 34818"] When I lived in Texas, all we ever hunted was whitetail deer. I never had any other rifle than a 25-06 and it was very accurate. Never really shot anything over 200 yards there. When I moved to New Mexico, things opened up for shooting distance CONSIDERABLY and elk and oryx were now in the picture for hunting. At first, I learned how to shoot LR with that 25-06 but only at targets. I eventually jumped all the way up to a 338 Lapua Magnum. That was the most accurate rifle that I have owned to date. I soon realized that I didn't really need that much rifle for the distances that I wanted to shoot animals at which was 800 yards and under. I sold that rifle and now have 2 custom rifles. One in 6.5 Sherman shooting 140 gr bergers which I use for deer and antelope and a 7mm Sherman MAX shooting 195 gr bergers for elk and oryx. If you find using muzzle brakes acceptable then you will be able to shoot a magnum cartridge with non-magnum recoil and will also find that you can spot your shots at distance and be more accurate while shooting due to the low recoil.
