Well school, I understand that. I guess I am confused. I have been on limited budgets in my life, believe meand the last caliber I would pick is something where ammo is like 35 to 45 dollars a box and have a barrel life of 1100 rounds or less. A good ole 7mmRemmag would be my high end choice on a budget. Ammo much more affordable and performance is great.

Thats the reason for the confusion. My budget was so limited from 1986 to 1994, that only had one rifle and that was a 7400 270 open sighted. The 270 was my choice cause I could get coreloks for 11dollars or so.

Just a thought.
