I enjoy shooting large caliber rifles and regularly take to the range a Ruger African 9.3 x 62, Marlin 444, and a Ruger No 1 45-70. I don't load any of them to the max, wear a Past shield, and generally pair them with a 22 Hornet, 221 Fireball, 223, 327 Federal or a .22 rimfire. Twenty rounds of one of the big ones is enough for one session, but 50 to 75 of the smaller rounds is the norm.
For many years my go to deer hunting rifle where I could use bottle necked rounds was a Ruger No 1 A in 30-06. I found that I didn't really need a 165 grain Hornady Interlock bullet at 2950 fps in the woods and few open fields where I hunt. The past few years I've migrated to a Savage 99 in 300 Savage; Barnes 130 grain Tipped TSX at 2950 shoots plenty flat and is easy on the shoulder.
