First, the right cartridge for serious hunter is not the cartridge for a serial rifle builder. Which are you?
A serious hunter wants a rifle chambered for a cartridge that is easily available in out-of-the-way places. Your choice doesn't fit that requirement.
In addition, most of the guys here run a 30-06 at brass busting pressure. I don't understand that. I would rather get a 300 Winchester run it at modest pressures. Factory 300 will out run any 30-06 loads.
Recoil: I had a 338 that was beating me up. So, I switched to moderate load of medium burn rate powder. That eliminated the bite it previously had and only cost about 75 fps.
A 300 loaded with 165's and H4350 to 3050 is a kitty cat yet out performs any 30-06 or 300 SAUM load. This is easy in a 23" bbl.
Consider German built, rear engined cars. Which works best at 80 mph?
I will take a 911 over any VW Bug.
Yup! Well said!
