[QUOTE="DeerCamp, post: 5796752, member: 21011"] My first rifle was a 303 Enfield rechamberred into. 308. Guy I bought it from had cut 6 inches off the barrel to "make it a scout gun'. I was 14, paid him $30 for it. The trigger was like breaking a rusty lugnut, it grouped about 10 moa nd i blew 2 scopes out with that hunk of metal. So that was deer #1. After that all of my "K"s: .270, 30-06, .243, 7mm-08, 6.5cm, 12g slug, .280AI. Next K up is 9mm. Best: 7mm-08. Reasoning (for deer), low/moderate recoil, short action, good ballistics, excellent results even from marginal shots, but doesn't overly destroy meat. [/QUOTE]
