ORIGINAL: Rammer

For all you guys telling him he needs a 30-06, if you look at his signature this is what you see:

Browning BAR 3006
Winchester M70 270
Remington 870
Browning A-Bolt 270 WSM
CVA WOLF
Mathews S2
T/C Prohunter 300 Win Mag
Mossy Oak Prostaff

So I'm guessing he was intitially looking for a more "fur friendly" cartridge to fill the gap on the lower end of his spectrum, that would be able to serve dual duties...
I would tend to agree here. The .270, .270 WSM,.30-06, and .300 WinMag are a story in redundancy, but to each his own (I'm guilty, too). The obvious gaps here are .243/6mm and .338+. Since he's talking deer and coyotes, a .243 would bethe solid recommendation.
