re: Help with new rifle caliber

I've whacked a shitton of critters over the years with the old Model 70 .270. Bullets always easy to find, and kills whitetails and such very effectively. Really good ballistics, especially when you dial in the ammo your gun likes.

Bought my youngest son a 7MM08 as his first gun, after a lot of research, because, admittedly, I wanted to be able to play with it too. Awesome gun-I've shot a couple animals with it on trips he couldn't go on and it's a sweet caliber, just harder to find ammo.
