    bumblefoot liked post by grandpamac On thread : Choosing calibre based on ammunition availablitiy
    Greetings iambatman, May I echo what many others and cast a vote for the .308W. I asume that this may be your first hunting rifle and everything about the .308W is just so easy as mentioned above....
