What’s another Cartridge we can Hate/Love?

My 257 is in an old 760 REM that's had the trigger done, (light& sweet) My Uncle Karl had one that he hunted deer 🦌 & Elk with. He sold it before he knew I would've loved to have it 🥹🥹
And my 300 savage is in a 1952 REM 760 untouched, open sighted that Loves the 150gr Hornady Superformance Load that ouches @ 50$/20 box 😃

Hi 👋 lol IMO, I like the 308, but it has its limits. I feel it's at max with 165/168gr. Heavier may do. Fine at closer distances. It doesn't have the "cubic inch" for heavier bullets. Many might disagree with me. I feel speed helps 😃. If the cartridge doesn't have the HP , get a bigger one😀
My next 2 older brothers each got a used 760 Gamemaster in 30-06 when they passed the Hunter's Safety Course (Mom insisted on this) and were ready for their first deer hunt. Know what I got a year later when I met all the same criteria??

A shoulder breaking, neck whipping, ear splitt'n, flinch inducing '03A3 that my Dad and I put into a second hand Fajen stock. We bedded it with fiberglass resin, and it proceeded to kick the live'n snot out of me! 🤼‍♂️ for the next 12 years.

All these rifles have iron sights, and to this day we each still have them in their original state. No scopes.

I lusted over those 760's for years, but now I wouldn't trade my '03A3 for anything, even tho it was a rifle I hated with gusto at the time!!
