Considering the hunting I have done in my lifetime and my affinity for Contender Carbines, I could pretty much be content with a Contender carbine chambered for .30-30 AI or .309 JDJ with 150 gr Nosler BT's.

I like having purpose-built loads and gun setups. I hate settling for even one load per hunting trip. I have taken to packing a couple that hit to similar aimpoints with similar trajectories to certain ranges. I keep the same 4 in the magazine, but swap what is in the chamber, depending on the terrain or animal. This worked out poorly to give me a 50 yd shot at a meat deer with a 180 Partition last week. The onside bruise was 12x14 inches. He didn't make it far. Different from what I am used to, as my preferred Berger load leaves a knitting needle entrance. I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.

I do way, WAY more varmint hunting/shooting than I do at big game and my shoulder simply could not take the .270 with 130 Partitions. I'd just have to get closer to deer, antelope, elk and bears with the idea that I'd shoot them behind the ear. Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
