[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1612771, member: 24844"] The .308 / 30-06 are excellent! My father, however, used the .375 and, later, the AI version using both cast and jacketed bullets. The real question is whether one intends to hunt medium game with cast bullets. I know that I got good expansion in water with wheel-weight cast bullets outof my "puny" .348 Winchester. I would nonetheless go with either the '06 or 308 depending on which way nostalgia takes me. Both have a ton of reloading data for bullets of about 75 grains up to more than 220 grains. Further, going with a twist that stabilizes the long bullets will not hurt performance of light bullets. [/QUOTE]
