Thanks for posting Ripp. I tend to agree with Boddington on his choices, though I could slip the 358Norma Mag in there as well.

Thanks too!
Coming from Germany, I'd probably opt for the 7x64 instead the .280 Rem.
And 8x68S instead the late and unlucky copy.
Otherwise the list is just fine!

The 300 H&H definitely deserves more attention...

That is a fine cartridge..I feel similar with the 280..used one for years and still have one..but the other lightweight I have I re-chamberd to 280AI..Like that just a bit more..reloading gives me more fps..again, at the longer ranges..it all adds up..IMHO...basiclally made it a 7mm Rem mag ..

The .257 Roberts Imp was difficult for me to get used to. For 10 years, I shot coyotes with a .358NM, my round ball and slug shooting muzzleloaders,the little .458 as well as a Rolling Block .45/70. With the .257 AckIMP, I kept shooting over the damn things - the little high speed bullets hitting right where the crosshairs were - high - go figure!

Very US market aimed article. I'd have had the 6.5x55 in there somewhere.
