Hello all, I'm new to the forum and need a little help deciding on which caliber to decide on.
My father has a nice Mauser 98 in 30-06, but the barrel has been shot out. Recently he gave it to me to work with, knowing I have been trying to find an action to build on.
The idea is making a long range rig, mainly just for some plinking at the range. I have seen all the 6.5 Kool-aid and am not too sold on that, but have no experlance with that caliber. I have a 30-06 and would like another round to work with.
Long story short what round is good for precise shooting at long range in a long action rifle? I have looked at the 270, 6.5-06, and the 338-06, but I am not quite sold on any. What are your thoughts on which caliber to choose? What has worked for you?
Thank you all!
