As I mentioned in my original post I know that a Magnum cartridge would not be considered a efficient in regards to rate of return, but if you had to choose one which would it be.

After much consideration, when I look at rate of return in regards to versatility, velocity & inherent eficiency. I've decided to have a rifle buildt in the new Win. Short Mag. I get the velocity of a 300 Win. Mag in a short action. It burns less powder(there for more efficient) & cases will be available for reloading. I can load anything from 150-200 grn bullets which pretty covers everything that I'm going to hunt.

Now I've got to figure who to have build me a rifle. I've decided to have a light weight rifle buildt for Mtn. Hunting . I'm looking at Mel Forbes Ultralight or Prairie Gun Works Titatium Lightweight, if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate the input.

Thanks,
