[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1908876, member: 69192"] I believe in the right cartridge for the game that I am hunting, so not a "one-gun", "one-cartridge" person. I have a .270 Ackley Improved for deer hunting, and a 30-06 I take along as a back-up rifle for deer hunting, a .358 Winchester and a 35 Whelen for black bear, and.....a 45-70 for black bear hunting or for snow and/or close up cover deer hunting. So....... I am not sure if you reload? From your OP it appears that the 30-06 ought to meet all of your hunting needs. For a different, long range cartridge I don't think that you could do better then the .280 Ackley Improved, or......the old time favorite the 7mm RemMag. The 7mm RemMag is easy to reload for, easy in the recoil department and has a large assortment of ammunition that can be bough off of he shelf just about anywhere that cartridges are sold. I'd like to suggest that not matter what your decision, you might want to check the price of "off the shelf" ammunition for some of these new barrel burners; like $70-80 a box "if" you can find it. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
