Thread: Advice Needed: Choosing Caliber for Open Tops Hunting

When I chose my open tops calibre, I mainly took into consideration the ballistics. The more sleek the bullet, the less wind deflection. Can almost always count on wind. 7mm is sweet spot. I also wanted something flat flat shooting that carries good speed down range to make the bullet work. The recoil is also a great deal less than the 30 cal magnums, unless you want to shoot a muzzle brake. My suggestion, would be a 6.5 prc with a long barrel, 280 or 280 ai, 7mm rem mag or 7prc. 270 win or wsm would be close behind. YouTube has a heck of a lot of information if you binge watch a heap of different calibre videos and subtract the egotistical bull crap
