Which caliber?

[WildWill]

Of the calibers listed I'd go 300 win mag all day. But sense we're spitballing here anyone else really intrigued by the 300prc? I've been telling myself I'm gonna get one for about a year now.

Why? Stay Winchester Magnum. mtmuley

Mostly to satisfy my own curiosity. You're probably right about sticking with the win mag but sometimes I have to learn lessons the hard way.

I think I like the .280 AI. Can't get it out of my head. mtmuley

Just got to do some shooting and reloading with my brother’s a couple weekends ago. We even tried some fire forming loads. It’s just a cool round. I bought a set of dies so I could load for his on my press and I have a feeling I’ll own one someday.

.270Win, .280Rem, 280AI, 7mm08, .308Win - they will all get it done, and done more efficiently than the mags.

.300 Win Mag would be my vote. Ammo available pretty much anywhere and a good variety. It will do it all - antelope to big bear.

 

[Salmonchaser]

Some times I agree with mtmuley; 280AI all day long.

I’m fairly certain they sell that rifle in 280 AI, which is what I’d go with if you can find it. 6.5 PRC if not, for the use cases you mentioned

 

[Ben Lamb]

None of these are calibers.

I like the 6.5 PRC. Fun to shoot. But I'm still old enough to prefer mass. 7mm RM is still a helluva cartridge.

Cartridge. That's the word all y'all are looking for.

 

[WNC2500]

@johnnybow I have this gun in the 6.5 CM, 6.5 PRC, and 7 Rem Mag. The creedmoor and the 7mm were both amazing shooting guns. If I were buying again, I would go with the 6.5PRC. Recoiil is not bad at all, and has killed everything I pulled the trigger on.

The response that alienates everyone . . . The OP feels picked upon and everyone who saw the error but exercised self control and didn’t point it out now fear others think they didn’t know the difference

I'm about ready to buy a browning xbolt speed but can't decide what caliber. Which one you choosing and why? I'm leaning towards the 6.8 western for antelope, deer and elk.

Well, .264, .277, .284, .308 and .338 all get my vote.

 

[MTLabrador]

For an all around rifle I’ve found myself really becoming fond of the boring old .308 lately. No recoil in a short, light rifle and plenty of bullet weight to get the job done. I always used to give my dad crap for shooting a .308 for everything, but I’ve started to figure out that he was right all along, like with most things.

300 Win Mag/181 Hammer Hunter or 182 Hammer Hunter Tipped @ > 3000fps will achieve the OP's requisites.

Amen, it just does a good job at a lot of things. Easy to shoot in a light, handy rifle and ammo anywhere you’d be shopping. I’ve found myself really reaching for my 7-08’s lately, which is basically the same as the 308 but better

300 prc has been great for me.

Truly - not a lot different than 300 win - but if you want to shoot the heaviest/longest bullets its simply better for that.
