If I had to do it over again with just ONE cartridge, Id choose the 300 H&H.

I already have one in #1, amongst many 700 action rifles...
For some reason, the classic feel of this round gets me every time I crack open my ammo boxes for it.. Norma brass and a stiff charge of RL19 with a 168 CT.
for a stock Ruger # 1 Medium Sporter chambered in that round--- she does under 3/4 moa-- rain or shine. I can't complain about that.

my next Rifle looks like another barrel on my .308 along with a new stock.
unless I pull the barrel on my 7MAG and make a target/tactical rifle in the A5 theme.
 
Bought another Savage. a 308 short action 11-111 Lightweight Hunter 20 " Barrel ....

5.5 pounds without ammo or scope. Scope to follow....:)

I need another gun safe..................... I have 2 full ones already.......:D

Not a 338 but not a tank either.....
 
For hunting deer and elk out to 500 yards, I dont see what you get out of the 6.5x284 that you cant get out of a .270 win. 24 inch barrel both guns, 140gr vld, I know bc is a bit better in the 6.5, but at 500 yards, come on.....
 
if the fur ain't smoking, you don't have the right rifle!
