Re: Caliber's choice for hunting

Quote:

The reason I picked these three is they are so versitile.If you choose 2 bullet weights for each you have 6 rifles if you go with QD mounts and a couple of scopes.


7x57 120g & 175g covers 270-3006
9.3x62 250g TSX & 320g Woodleigh covers 3006-375h&h
404j 350g Woodleigh and 450g Woodleigh (I would just use the Woodleigh 400g Hydro for anything in the world)!!.Covers 375h&h-458.

JUST MY OPINION !!!.
Cheers Neale.




Neale, I really like your choice, but you would be faced with a Problem if hunting New Caledonia as although the 7x57 would be a great Rusa round, it is a military calibre which is not allowed there.
A couple ways out; Take the 9.3 with light rounds, possibly register the 7x57 as a 275 or just get a 7x64 which makes better use of a M98s Mag anyway.
