[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1239991"] I love the concept of trying to answer the "versatility" question but each of us lives and hunts in different places so the answer is different for each of us. If you reload then it can be almost anything. Another way to look at versatility is energy at muzzle and at impact. the 30-06 and every thing based on that case will have a muzzle energy of about 3200 the 300WM will have a muzzle energy around 3800 the 7mm RM will have about 3500 the xx-Noslers will have at least 4000 after that bullet choice based on game and range will let you customize for versatility. For "you can buy ammo anywhere" for almost any use, it is still 30-06 and 300WM. If I was facing ursus arctus while out moose/elk I'd still prefer a 300WM with 300 Oryx, Accubond, Partition or Swift A-Frame or a 180 TSX. If I had to have one "chambering" and was allowed to load for any use. 300WM with a 10tw barrel. [/QUOTE]
