[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 261535, member: 13632"] I do not think there is a "best caliber" but there is a bullet and load combo within each caliber that are most deadly at different ranges. I recently purchased a 270 wsm, I'm pushing 140gr AccuBonds @ 3350 fps with sum MOA accuracy. I think this will do great on deer for long range and will also do good on elk to about 800yds ish. But not over kill @ any range. I can see a time in the future I'd like to get something in the range of a 338 AM or 338 Edge for a great long range elk gun. I really like the 6.5-270 stuff and the heavy 338 stuff, I have a real dislike for 7mm and 30 cals. Thought that is just personal on my part. Unfortunaly I have to be a one gun man [IMG]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif[/IMG] for now. [/QUOTE]
