just for fun I got to thinking about what would be an awesome rifle\cartridge combo if I ever had the chance to hunt in alaska or somewhere out west
My Savage 111 in .30-06................
I picked the No.1 in .35 Whelen, but my personal pick would be the .30-06 due to ammunition availability. Good luck finding 9.3x62 anywhere except the internet .
The hell it ain`t, you gota start somewhere...............Ammo availability is a non-issue for the handloader and I think given the poll, the OP is obviously a handloader. I never understood why anyone would pick a .30-30 over a .35 Whelen just because they could get the ammo at walmart, but I handload and don't buy factory ammunition for my rifles. I can load better for less money. I think the last box of factory ammo for a hunting rifle I might have bought was in the early 80s.
Hey MC I understand, I have been handloading for over 20 years. I also understand the various snafus involved with hunting way out in the boonies where stuff can get bashed around while riding on horseback or misplaced by baggage handlers. If you and your rifle get off the plane in Anchorage and your 9.3x62 ends up in Seattle...
The hell it ain`t, you gota start somewhere...............
Only one of them is weird metric Euro stuff, that`s the 9.3x62, the other two are American Cartridges...............and they are both 06 derivatives.Sure, but point is, I think the OP is a handloader just going on his suggested calibers. If he's not, why would he be suggesting weird metric Euro stuff?
