I am looking for another hunting rifle cartridge. Something that is readily available, will shoot flat to 300 meters, and take game from varmint to whitetail deer.
Some cartridges seem to have a lot of potential, if you reload them yourself. What I am looking for is something that comes in enough variety from the manufacturer that it doesn't require reloading to reach its potential.
So far the 243, 270, 308 and 30-06 seem to be pretty good choices. With the 260, 25-06, 7-08 performing better with hand loads.
