RE: best short action round
Alright, you guys win, you can get a .300 Win mag or a .300 WSM, they will both do the same things, equally.

RE: best short action round
I like my brownings too. I know all my guns are reliable, and work as expected, but there is something about the fit and finish of the browning that exceeds expectations. It is also a beautiful gun. I would own all brownings if they made them in the same specs as the other brands I own. But as far as the caliber goes, get the .308. Most all of your hunting shots would easily come within the normal effective range of the .308, and if you did have some long ( 400 - 500yards ) shots it can do that too. Also , if you are wanting a little more performance out of it, then go buy some Hornady light or heavy magnum ammo. You will come out leaps and bounds ahead with that rig. And the light and / or heavy magnum ammo really does the job and is quality stuff. On the other hand, you can go just about anywhere and find .308 ammo, and you can't say that about the wsm round. But there is nothing wrong with the wsm. I am not gonna slam it. I dont own one ( never really saw the need for it ) but it will do the job too. But dead is dead, and the .308 will meet your needs.
God bless, and good luck. Michael |

RE: best short action round
The best short action cartridge is the .308 Winchester.
25-06 Remington is pretty good too. |

RE: best short action round
If you show up with a .308 and know how to use it, most guides I know will shake your hand, buy you a beer and say, "Great choice!"

RE: best short action round
My .308 is a Remington Model 673 "Guide Gun", and it shoots dead on at 50 yards, and it shoots dead on at 100 yards! But it does shoot low at25, 150 and more.
