Need some rifle caliber recommendations

Ok so im on the same page here.

.270 will recoil the least out of the 3.
Shoots flatter than the others.

I dont know about you guys, but everyone around me is sold out of .308 on a regular basis.

I have seen 30-06 and .270 still on the shelves among others.

Sounds like we are close to a winner.

That's why I suggested 7.62X54R.

8x56R

That's a good round too, but expensive.

The 243 is light recoiling, flat shooting and is starting to be used in a lot of the 600 yard matches. Rounds are readily available and if shot placement is good it will get the job done.

 

[militaryrednek]

30-30

This is a handy chart.

Own both but let me lay this down... 7mm-08

Thanks a bunch for suggesting this round. Didnt even know about it.

Similar performance as a .270, but a shorter action and less recoil.

I shoot a 7mm mag. now after hunting with a 30-06 for decades. Nothing wrong with the 06, I just turned it into a safe queen so I can pass it on.

7pt62x51mikemike = .308

8x56R, Where have you ever seen it?

Love that .308 for all around hunting. Two more favs= .45-70 handloaded with WFN HC 405 gr At 1850 fps! Also have gotten re-acquanted with .50 cal sidelock muzzle loader hunting---open sites---love it!
