Sorry, Brian, but since my father more than once and in front of witnesses called his shots on whitetail bucks out around 500 yards, I'm dubious that there are many cartridges which will do "better". He always loaded Hornady 150-grain soft points to GI specs; not all that hot.
Five grains weight of pistol powder behind 00 Buck makes for a great squirrel load. Versatility, anyone?
(Yeah, I like my 7mm08--but it's less than my '06 for "ultimate" performance.)
Jeff Cooper's daughter Lindy wrote the poem, "Seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six."
