.260 rem and .35 Whelen.

I really think the .260 would be my perfect high country deer round and the .35 would be my perfect rain forest elk round, but instead I use my 30-06 for everything


I have both of these and absolutely love them.   :tup:

.240 Weatherby magnum.  I love .243 Winchester and have always been intrigued by its big belted brother.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I would love to get my hands on a 338/378 Weatherby Magnum some day and send some rounds.  Preferably at a 6 pt bull in the high country on the ridge 700 yds away!

.280 Remington Express, the cartridge that I thought of before I opened the thread and the same as your buddies.  Always wanted one of those....

In terms of rifle cartridges I'd have to say 6.5 Creedmor. Long range trajectory on pad with .300 Win Mag and its better in the wind than the .300. To top it off it has mild recoil and it will fit into an AR10.

There's so many, not sure where I'd start but on the extreme side, probably a Anzio 20mm Bolt gun.

On the more normal side, I've always wanted to have a 6.5x55 Swede Ack. Imp. built.  Figure if they are still chambering the 6.5x55 Swede in modern day rifles after it's more than a 100 years old, must be something pretty good about it. 

Also, I've got a bit of a crush on the necked down 6x47 Lapua.

Sheesh, I go from about the biggest, to one of the oldest, to one of the newest. lol

My next rifle will be in the 6.5  of some kind. Googled a 6.5 SAUM and wow pretty cool. Might be a spendy fire poker after a couple hundred rounds tho?

Right now .204 is my fav. Cheap to shoot (reloads) accurate as hell and BB gun recoil

And who doesn't like 4000 FPS. When it hits a rockchuck? 8)

.375 chaytech. Someone made a 3800 yd shot on a 3ft gong with it, in gusty conditions....

The Gyrojet is one I'd like to fire.  Back when this came out I thought it would be a neat sidearm.   The little rockets sounded kinda novel.
