[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1516209, member: 55944"] There are a number of exciting caliber choices that will fit your application. I am partial to the 270 Winchester but the 280ai is very popular with long range shooters today. The 6.5-284 will also work and is a very impressive caliber. If you don’t want to buy different Reloading supplies you will have to go with factory ammo and the 6.5-284 has very few factory offerings. The 280ai slightly more and the 270 has lots of factory ammo. You could also pick a short action caliber like a 308, 260, 243, even a 6.5 creedmoor will all work with your action without alteration. If you only shoot whitetail and black bear at 350yds or less all these calibers will work. (I wouldn’t use the 243 for bears though) I like to have as little recoil as possible for whatever the application. There are only a couple ways to achieve this, shoot a lighter bullet, shoot the same bullet slower or use a muzzle brake. I’d pick a lower recoiling caliber than the 30-06 or if you do go with the 06 I would put a muzzle brake on it. [/QUOTE]
