7mm-08 vs. .270 vs. 30-06
So I'm about 2 weeks away from buying my rifle. It's decieded I'm going with a weatherby vanguard (wood stock). It's the best feeling rifle for me. 99% of the time the rifle will be used for deer in georgia. I hunt a variety of either wooded or pasture. So now it's the tough part. I've put it down to 3 calibers
1. 30-06
avalible anywhere for dirt cheep
selection from 100 grns to 220 grns
moderate recoil
2. .270
just as avalibel for dirt cheep
almost as much selection but not quite
less recoil
further reach before drop off
3. 7mm-08
gonna cost me an extra 5 each time I buy a box
not much selection out there
it will flat get out there before dropping off
what recoil
Any extra thought about all of this would be helpful.
