Thread: Best magnum caliber

I have owned a few but never used any on game, except for my .44 Magnum which has accounted for a few animals. Frankly, there is no reasonable reason for any of the medium or big bore magnums in NZ. The animals aren't big enough and the ranges aren't long enough. My only current magnum is my .338 LM which is only for targets anyway. I have hunted with a .30/06 for years and that is probably more power than was ever needed. 7-08 and .308 are about perfect for NZ (and all the Tahr I have shot have been with a .308).
