[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 2094074, member: 24844"] Rhino55 gives excellent advice. Too bad not enough of us follow it. As my "failure to heed" his advice, consider this: As one who once used a .378 Wathery Magnum to hunt jackrabbits, I know the value of this question: Aren't we lucky that innovation is giving us so many choices? -- Long and mid-length actions where lots of room for bullets and powder can be created? -- Short actions (ex. .308 Win) that give a modest trade of top power for a bit more ability to maneuver. -- Micro actions at .223 Rem length allow for short light rifles that make hiking wood and steep hills much easier without particularly sacrificing inside 300 yard performance on the target and on game.
