What's the best light double rifle cartridge for NA big game
      16/12/12 08:03 AM

Parameters:
  • Cartridge must be rimmed or flanged
  • Cartridge must be available in factory loaded ammo
  • Target species include deer, black bear, elk, feral hogs. Assumption is made that if stalked within a reasonable range the rifle would also be fine for antelope, sheep, and goats.
  • Exotics in Texas may be on the target list but African dangerous game is not
  • The rifle will not be used for brown, grizzly, or polar bears
  • Action is not suitable for the higher pressure cartridges like 7x65R and .303 British - desire to stay well below 50,000psi CIP (piezo)
  • Bore diameter will be .429 or smaller, therefore .45-70 is out
    Using the parameters above, which lower pressure cartridge would you choose for a light double rifle for North American big game? After you choose a cartridge I would like to hear what bullet weight you would suggest the rifle be regulated for.
    You may choose only one
    .25-35 (6.5x52R
    7x30 Waters
    .30-30
    .32-40
    .357 Max (will also shoot .357 Mag)
    .38-55
    .405 Win
    .44 Rem Mag
    Other - Please specify and explain
