That makes a lot of sense, and backs up my experience with a 30-06. Thanks again for all the resources, I'm diving through them now.
I could get behind the two rifles needed, now only if I could get my wife behind it 🤔. Haha open to suggestions persuading her on that!
I’ve been recommended...
This seems to be a general census, thanks for the input!
The 30-06 I have shot was temperamental at the range with various rounds. Perhaps another ought 6 and range time with a selection of bullets is my best bet!
Is that available in a factory load with to 60g of h4831sc? I don’t handload or have any equipment!

I have been shooting for the past 6 years, I’ve killed a LOT of paper so I think so far you’ve got me beat on size of hunted game 😂. I wasn’t shy of the .300 if its fits the bill but if its to much for my needs I would consider a 30-06 happily.
A stones throw away! Thats good to know thanks, a custom barrel and handloads wont be in my future anytime soon, but then again neither is hunting bison. Thanks alot for the input!
Hey thanks for the reply! The 6.5 was really interesting but I was told its dicey on big game! Thats a few times Ive heard suggestion of the 7mm-08 I should look into it.
Thanks a ton! Would you say ought 6 and a .308 would both fit this category? My local stores were slim picking on rifle/calibres (the supply chain issues still seems to be plaguing local stores).
Hey everyone, new Rokslider here!
I’m located on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada and getting into hunting. I’d start with blacktail deer, but would hope to eventually (as soon as experience and opportunity presents) move towards larger game such as elk, and in a few years moose.
I’ve talked to 5...
