There is always the 50BMG its not a magnum and has major knock down power and I have seen people shoot it competitively at 1 mile. My first time shooting one I was able to hit a 5 foot target at 1 mile (after some one else sighted it in)

All kidding aside the 300WM is close to what you want but it is a magnum.

Really the 30-06 is hard to beat.

I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull. all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well... Last edited by Deja vu; October 19, 2012 at 03:27 PM.
