   It would have to be something 30 calibre but not on extreme ends of speed spectrum so for me it's a toss-up between 30-06 and 308. There isn't a lot you can not accomplish hunting-wise with either of...

   58.65mm or 2.311inches. Probably not a good idea to go to the full internal length, the 788 mag springs are a bit on the weak side and cartridges loaded to the max length tend to catch a bit cos the...

   308 for the north island and 270 for the south if things get any rougher import wise that might be about all we can get ammo wise mostly because all the cool kids have 6.5s these days

   Im probably starting to repeat myself now... Modern hand-loading and decent projectiles has made a big difference to the 222/223, and with the .223 faster twists and heavier bullets too. When...

   Well I'm not voting for you. Pumpkin is about the only vege with some substance I'm allowed to soak in fat and eat. Other than that it would be a close call between the 2x3's. Since I only shoot...

   I have a .223 and a .260, the .223 seems to be the main one that leaves the safe these days.

    Tough call between my 260 & 6x45. At a push, I'd probably go the 6x45 with its 1:8 barrel. I'm a meat hunter & goat killer these last few years, so I can cover the bases well with this.

    That's my point. Some terrible ammo out there. Case matters little. Rules are always the same. You need to hit the right bit. Big case like 270, especially now ammo is loaded down for old...
