It's not going to happen but if it did, the economy and other things have really tanked. If that were the case, I'd be limited to just deer, black bear and the occasional elk. I think my semi-custon REM 600 in 7mm-08 w/ a Leupold VXIII 2.5-8 would stay. Its current load is a 139gr IB at 2900+MV using IMR4895 and I see no reason to change. It certainly would put plenty of meat on the table.

I would also be keeping my 223 cuz the $hite has hit the fan...
