Gimme a 300 wm anyday and I'll knock down anything in north America within 600 yds. That's the go to gun.
Post by: Biggerhammer on May 21, 2012, 06:50:58 PM
.300wsm with 190 grain accubonds of the three . that being said a 30-378 would be the best bet . I'm building a 6.5 x 284 and have the confidence that the 140 vld will get the job done .
Ya big tease!!! I about fell out of the chair, when I read "190 Accubond". Can't seam to find one anywhere? ;)

I'd take the 300 WSM out of your list. If it was up to me though, I'd just get a 30-06 instead.
Whole lotta deer, bear and elk taken with the 30-06.

I wouldn't however choose one of those on the list for my personal one gun. My one gun would either be my 7mm Rogue or 338 Edge. 7RM would be a good choice as well, but the 7mm Rogue adds another 150fps and seems to be pretty efficient with cheap brass. The Edge, well, it just flat out kills.

All of those rounds will do it. Sounds like you just want some justification so go huge
I wish more people (including 2 of my brothers) would spend the time they spend on the range vs researching ballistic charts and playing with all the different types of bullets, powders etc. If they would just by a 30-06 or a 7mm or even a 270, and spend their free time actually shooting it and being comfortable with it, they would have fantastic results. :twocents:

+1. Given the choices I'd go .308. Keep your ammo cheap and your optics expensive and keep practicing.

find ammo dam near anywhere
I bet 99% of people with "big guns" can't shoot a 1/4 what the gun is capable of
Post by: Dan-o on June 07, 2012, 05:38:35 PM
I doubt too many deer, elk or bear would notice the difference between my WSM and my 30-06, but I'd feel good walking around with my new rifle!!!!

Elkinrut... reference your .264 Win Mag, an oldtimer friend I had killed more moose and elk with a .264 than I'll probably ever have a chance to see. It's a good round with the 140 grain load if you place your shots. It's kind of a classic round too which makes it interesting.
Great caliber, not easy to find.
Realistically, "if" I had to pick one caliber it would be one of the more popular calibers 30-06, 308, 7mm mag, 300 win mag for the main reason they all will do the job, and I could buy ammo at any hardware store/sporting goods store.
But since I do not have to choose one, I have at least one of each, then some, lol
