What is your minimum rifle battery? - Page 6

.223 for basic hunting
.308 for more experienced such as longer range shooting
.30 06 for more impact on heavy targets(i.e. bear)
300 win when you absolutely need something dead in one shot, this is for big game hunting

my personal preferred round is 308, and for that i use sierra gameking

If I had to have 3 I would pick

AR-15 .223
A good bolt action 308
Lever action 45-70

If I could add a 4th

a 300 win

good luck

If necessary, for centerfire rifles, I could live with a .243 Win, bolt action with a good 3-9x Leupold VX-2 and a reloading outfit, an assortment of bullets, cases, primers and a couple of powders.

However, I don't have to.

I can do all I need with a .22 LR, .30-30, and a .308. If necessary I could drop the .30-30, I just don't want to.
