Thread: Best magnum caliber

You won't burn out a WSM in a lifetime of ordinary hunting, and less so a SAUM.
I've got a 300saum. No problem using un suppressed if need be with its 20" barrel, but I do mostly use a suppressor.

Shooting a deer with 150grn TTSX bullet with it at 300 yards has the same oomph as a 20" 308 probably does at probably 100 yards. That has to be a worthwhile advantage.

Yup, magnums are not necessary, but deer sure don't like them.
