Need a recomendation as to what caliber to buy next.
I have a .204, .223Rem, .243win, 25-06, 270win, 7mm RemMag, 30-06, and .338 WinMag. I like to match appropriate calibers to the game I'm hunting like (.204/.223 for varmints, or .243/25-06 for antelope, mags for elk, etc.)
All the rifles I currently own are factory production guns like Ruger, Rem, Win, and give me MOA accuracy. I reload my own for all of them and don't really want a proprietary "super-dooper magnum" with ammo that costs $75+ per box... but might have to be flexible on this.
I'd like to buy a "higher-end" bolt-action (Sako, Kimber, Browning) but not a custom rifle. I already have several shotguns, couple muzzleloaders and Archery stuff too.
My problem is; when I consider the caliber (example 270WSM) and study the ballistics it doesn't perform significantly better than what I already have to justify putting out the money...
Any thoughts on caliber/mfc????
