[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 372244, member: 10654"] Depends on the type of game you hunt most. If you mostly hunt deer, I would look at the 6.5 or 257 calibers. If elk is what you hunt most, I would step up to the 338 cal. for longrange. That being said, the 30cal that you have now will do anything you will need it to on game. [B]My choice for the 6.5cal would be a 6.5-06AI. [/B] Standard dies are availible and good brass to. 26" barrel will get you 3200fps with 140gr bullets. Has #1500 energy at 800yards which will take out an elk. Better barrel life than a 6.5 STW or 264 Win. You could load it down with 100gr bullets for deer. [B]My choice for longrange elk is a 338cal.[/B] There are alot of great calibers in the 338's. 338 Norma 26" barrel 338 EDGE 28-30" barrel 338 Lapua AI 28-30" barrel 338-408 Chey-Tac [/QUOTE]
