i am looking for the "best" short action round, i live in iowa so really id only use it for a week a year here for the centerfire rifle deer season. however there is a good possibilty that i will be going on some other hunts for black bear and elk, and mabey pronghorn and mule deer. I have a browning a-bolt in 25-06, im looking at the 300wsm or the 325wsm, but im almost ready to get a 308 win and handload it up some, just for the conveiance of being able to go to wal-mart and get shells for it and shoot it real
cheap.wondering what recoil would be like on the 325 wsm in a browning micro a-bolt. thats my first pick so far, what do you all think?
For elk and moose, there's perhaps something to be said for the .300 or even the .325 WSM rounds.
But for the great portion of the use you will be putting it to, the .308 Win. is great. So would be the .338 Federal.
I actually like the prospect of the new .338 Fed, can't wait to get my hands on one. It isn't a short mag, so I'll enjoy it
