[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 905666, member: 69478"] I would say the .30-06 Springfield. It's a hard cartridge to beat. Get a Remington 700 with 24" barrel and shoot 180gr bullets. You can push those 180s at around 2750fps. Barrel life will definitely be excellent since its an '06 and it will surely be an accurate rifle because its a Remington! A traditional bullet like a Hornady or Sierra Soft Point Boat tail with a descent BC will be a good 400-500yd back up rifle and will have great expansion at short and long ranges. For a more accurate and flatter shooting slug with a higher BC shoot some Hornady 178gr A-MAXs or even the 180gr SSTs. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
