Ok, so im sure I don't "need" a new gun, well at least that's what my wife says. But she told me to get one anyways. So im looking for a gun that will be for a mixture of elk, sheep, and long range deer. I am a metric fan and am looking for a round to compliment my 6.5x55, 8x57, and 45-70. The calibers I am considering are 25-06, .264 win mag, .270, 7mm, or 300 win mag. With the .264 and 300 being my last choices. I also woudnt wind a short mag but have not really looked into them. I reload so im not to worried about ammo, but I would like a round I can find at most gun shops in case of the dreaded "oh s#!*, I forgot my ammo" scenario. But that's not the biggest factor. And I don't buy paper ballistics as both my 6.5x55 and custom 6.5x50 look pathetic on paper but are dang good at killing in the field. So what paper says is not of super importance to me. Neither is the magnum aspect. What im asking for is real world killing performance, and I know that the animal probably wont know the difference. So let's hear it, I want field reports, animals that got away, so on and so forth, ill even take bubba said.
