Allthough there are the obvious mainstream calibres that we're all aware of, who has expirience of using the bigger stuff?
By big I mean 30-06+ like the 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag & Similar.
Is it fair to say there's a place for these calibres out of the need for hard hitting,humaine round? Something that can hit a stag in the rutt & transfer a lot of power accurately.
Is the meat damage unacceptable?
How big can you go with these rounds? The Federal/Sako ammo listings indicate Elk/Carribou.
I realise the .300win can go to higher bullet weights than the 7mmMag, but how about tuning a load to be more discreet,with less of a kick? Using less powder & lower bullet weights. What weight of pointed soft point is a good allrounder for uk deer?
