My nieces new husband has been packing around a hand-me-down iron-sighted & butchered ariska and has decided to join the 21st century. He asked me what cartridge should he choose for the new rifle.
I told him to walk down the ammo aisle of his favorite sporting goods store and figure out the top 3 cartridges based on bullet weight offerings and vendor offerings. He reported back:
1. .30-06 2. 308 Win 3. 6.5 Creedmoor
I'm meeting him at the range this weekend with hunting rifles for all 3 on his list for him to shoot and get a feel for.
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
