7x61 S&H

I've posted this in a previous thread, but here goes again. With your mention of the 7x61 S&H, that happens to be one item in my recently and successfully completed three gun Schultz & Larsen 'quest'.

• 7x61 S&H
• 308 NM
• 358 NM

It's taken quite a while and now, the 358 NM is the newest and final addition to the group.



Now I'm happy.

For my needs a .308 would work well.
If I needed more I'd go with 300 win mag.

Nothing wrong with the 30/06 though.

30-06 all the way. My biggest moose was shot at 450 yards...

30-06, cause then you can always use .308 ammo in an "emergency"... http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...n-if-you-touched-off-a-308-in-a-30-06-chamber

"...either a 308 or 30.06..." You want a long action or a short action? Other than that the two cartridges are ballistcally identical.
The .308 has a slight edge in long range target shooting. Has to do with the cartridge case capacity/diameter to bullet diameter ratio. Or some daft thing like that. Been a very long time since I saw the reason.
