hey all i am looking to buy a bolt action rifle that can be used for chucks to wolf that is capable of really long shots. i was wondering what caliber would be the best and the flatest shooting. i was thinking of a .270 since thats the biggest thing we can carry in my area (southern ontario) since i may want to use it for black bear and moose as well....ive heard .270's r flat shootin.....but how flat?

i was also thinking about the 25-06....ive enevr even heard of these since a few weeks ago (im 18 years old) and from wut ive heard they r pretty flat too....

so id just like to know which caliber would be the best for game up to yotes or wolf...just so ya'll know the most popular ammo i see at stores close to my home are - .223, 22-250, .243, .270....just the ones i recall seeing the most of.

plz let know know how yall feel bout this topic as i wanna do as much research be4 i purchase a rifle.

also, which rifles have the best accuracy/performance below $1000 canadian?

thx for everyones help.

PS. while looking at rifle ballistic charts they show short trajectory and long trajectory....what do these terms mean? on remington.com for the smaller calibers i looked at the short trajectory would be say 5 inch drop at like 350 yards or sumthin but th same bullet with long trajectory the drop would be like 17 inches....plz explain the difference
