Get something like a 6.5 Creed, 6.5 PRC, 7mm-08, or .308 Win. Maybe a .270 or .280.



Good point.

Unless the OP is shooting big stuff, he can do well with your list of suggestions.

Even big stuff has been killed with all of the above and they'll do it again. IMO, bullet choice would be the main issue, more than the round.

I have various magnums in the safe, find myself using 7-08, Swede, Creed. 257R and 308 more and more.
