Two cartridges for hunting Canada

[BIGREDD]

.270WSM and a .375....

 

[CoryTheCowboy]

I like BCSteve's choices

 

[Boomer]

A .375 of what ever flavour you prefer to take hunting, and anything else in a pretty package to hang on the wall.

[SuperCub]

Canadian big game hunting only! not plinkers, or gopher guns, or trap shooting...etc

Two cartridges to get it done from Alberta Pronghorns to Nunavut Polar Bears!

I have a 257 Roberts and a 35Whelen. I'd prolly stick with that combo.

I also have a .270Win and 375/338 (in the works). I think that would work just as well or better.

2 cartridge choices

I have BC Steve's choices which have worked beautifully for me



6.5X55 and the 35 Whelen

Yukonhunter

 

[Brambles]

If I could only keep two of my rifles they would be

280 AI

375 H&H

 

[ben hunchak]

Heavily loaded 45/70 and the 50/90 Sharps of course.

 

[MTM]

Even though I've got most below and in between the obvious is 338 and .416 Rem.

 

[Kevan]

280 Remington and 375 H&H...

 

[beretta boy]

Same as "Longwalker" ... 25-06 and 35 Whelen.

Bonus ... you don't have to change shell holders or trim lengths when
reloading ! There are a few powders that will work just fine in both,
and both seem to like Accubonds - but otherwise you can go from
75 gr. to 120 gr. in the 25-06 and from 180 gr. - 250 gr. in the "35-06"
but, if you want to keep it really simple, 110's and 225's will cover
just about anything you'll run into.

I happen to like CDL's ... so it works for me !

 

[Spitzer]

Best combo is the 270win 338winmag.

 

[Turkeyslayer 1300]

I would pick a 30-30 and a 45-70, what with accelerators and such that covers varmints to elephants.

 

[Chilly Willy]

Boy it would be tough to decide between the 260 Rem and the 270 Win for light.....but the 375 RUM would definately do it all! But in any case either of the rifles would be loaded with Nosler Accubonds.

25-06 & 338-06

 

[Wrong Way]

7mm/08 and .416 Rem.

 

[JohnC]

.300WSM and .416 rem

 

[303carbine]

Remington Mountain Rifle in 7x57 Mauser
Remington 700 CDL in 35 Whelen

 

[Slimbo]

7x57 (hands down no question) and 375 H&H (I was tempted to say 45-70 but if limited to only one heavy rifle I would choose the H&H due to its longer range capabilities).
