[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1612490, member: 1656"] Hard to reconcile 400 yards on game (not targets) with the need to shoot lead. Absolute most versatile IMHO is 300WM, but limiting to 400 yards, a .30-06 will do just as well. But I have no experience trying to shoot lead from these relatively fast rounds. The .45-70 will give you more versatility to shoot lead, but will cut your reasonable range short of the goal. 30 caliber has far more bullet choices, but .458 gives you all you need. I'm a big fan of the 35 caliber too, but bullet choices are fewer. [/QUOTE]
