We Are Just Getting Started…

[MtPockets]

Welcome to LRH from just a little ways north of Memtb!

There's a ton of knowledge on this site. If you sit back and mostly listen, you'll learn a lot.
If you're like me and cant keep the trap shut, well, you'll still learn but it'll cost ya.

Good luck!

Great post and intro. This game is lots of fun but can be expensive!!!

Thank you and I'll make sure to hold off on the flogging.

Where's the fun in that?

I'm here to save you!

Contrary to the near unanimous consensus……you can survive nicely with two cartridges. A primary "do it all" cartridge of medium bore in an efficient and readily available cartridge in a rifle of light to moderate weight for all of your big game hunting……and a "hot rod" small bore (.17 to .25) for varmint use and plinking at long distance.

Finding the appropriate cartridges to fulfill that criteria should keep you busy for a while! Once done……life is "easy peasy"! memtb

I've taken coyote and deer with 4 of my 7 different 25 caliber cartridges.
And I wouldn't hesitate to go after elk with 4 of them either.

6mm/243 could be in the same league.
