Mainhunter,
The " best" round can be discussed to great length for sure, I' ve already made my choice so it doesn' t matter to me, but I' m always intrested in hearing others opinions. I like seeing discussions like this simply because it helps me learn and think about options for future purchases or future hunting trips. The only way to learn is to be open and to the opinions of experience. For me, I wanted a rifle I could hold dead on out to 300 yards, take down a 200#+ dressed whitetail, that wouldn' t beat the heck out of me if I wanted to shoot a box of ammo on a Sunday afternoon in June. I also wanted an excuse to buy a new gun, for a new, better scope!
