If you deer hunt in a state that narrows your choices, it’s a pretty easy choice. It’s a mild cartridge, reasonably accurate, and aside from hand loading, which I don’t do for it, factory ammo is available.

I’m in Iowa and have a Ruger rifle and then got a hold of a used Contender super 14 chambered in 7 mmTCU and JES rebored it to the 350 whose chamber just cleans up the TCU’s. With scope and bipod, both should be ok to 150-175 yds.

At this point in life, it’s a fun one to shoot.
