I’d look at a 7RM or 300WSM, particularly if not reloading. If you are reloading then it opens up a lot more options as mentioned. 300WM is just a lot of gun. 7 PRC will be cracker if they come out...

I may be on outlier here, but I'd start with goats. It can be a great confidence booster to shoot your first animal, any animal. You'll pick up the basics of bush stalking and dressing/butchering a...
