[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1521785, member: 33159"] For 500 yards and under, I personally don't think you can beat a 30-06, or a 308. Plenty of bullet weights and options, as well as factory ammo that can be found anywhere if you need it in a pinch. It may not be as glamorous as some other cartridges, but it will definitely get the job done. My 30-06 is light, too. Super accurate. I prefer to use a 30 cal or bigger when hunting elk or larger game, and the 30-06 fits this requirement with 180-200 gr bullets very well. But, if you choose, you can load lower bullet weights for deer and antelope, or even lighter bullets for varmits. It'a a very versatile cartridge [/QUOTE]
