OK guys, if you were gonna build or buy a short action rifle (Not WSM) to primarily hunt Mule Deer/White Tail deer with shots topping out at 400 yards, what caliber would you choose and why???
I've run the WSM course and just don't feel I need the added recoil. I'm thinking an accurate, relatively light, short action rifle is the optimal package. Given these parameters, what caliber would you choose??
