I would love to tell you to geta .257 roberts but the selection of ammo isgetting worse every year. I went to Gander Mt. and they had one selection- 117 gr Core-lokts at $30/box. I can order some other types from Midway but anything with a Nosler is in the $40+range, it's shame as I think thiscaliber is a great forwhitetails with very little recoil. Time to start reloading.My friend who shoots a .35 Whelen tries to make my gun go for a ride home in his truck every deer season.

That said a7mm-08.
