Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

[CJ_BG]

I can’t vote. The best single cartridge isn’t listed. Who does a one and done thread about rifles and leaves out the 30/06?

Someone smart?

If you say so.

Did you read the original post? The list only includes rifles the OP already owns.

Holy smokes, take a chill pill Nancie’s. It was a flippin’ joke.

Because I have spinal degeneration, a titanium rod in my neck, and torn up shoulders. My 30-06 was sold after I shot it the last time. Haha.

None of the above. 6 Creedmoor.

If you have to elaborate on how it's clear, it's not clear

Case in point: Steve, and or you and the boys need to slow it down, read and comprehend. The fact your still arguing a point in which is fallible is silly and telling at the same time.

Go hunt man, don't die on this hill.

We will still be here when you get back

I have some 120 Barnes TTSX in 7mm that could be a good pill for elk. I know they are for deer. I just have not done much testing with them.

I think you’d be fine with 120gr TTSX on elk. I have shot more than a dozen elk with 6.5 Creedmoor with 127gr LRX and 140-143gr bergers and eldx, as well as 6cm with 75gr tipped hammer hunter. All practically DRT. These were all cow elk, but I do not think results would differ appreciably on a bull.

I think what rifles they are chambered in are important in deciding as well. For instance, if one is a 12lb heavy barrel in 6.5cm, that would be the all around choice in my opinion. But if they Amare are all similar platforms more or less, then 6.5cm is the choice.

Would you also not gamble on a 270 Win for elk?

That’s why I take a 7mag

6mm class has quickly become a favorite for me.
