In the past few years I have used a 6mm Rem,25-06, 270win,270 WSM, 7x57,7mm-08,280 REm, 7WSM, 7 Rem mag, 308,30-06, 300 wthby,300 WSM,300Win for my deer hunting. My longest shot was 300 yards(Doe in a food plot 300 wthby)and that was twice the length of my previous long shot.That is onlyone shot out of a tractor trailer load of dead deer. I pretty much hunt bottlenecks between food plots and bedding areas and my shot is usually 30 yards or lessand none over 120 . The question is why am I not using just a plain jane Remington 7600 in some civil non magnum caliber ?
