That was one of the issues. I want a rifle that can handle deer and elk without blowing the whole chest cavity up yet I can hunt grizzled and caribou in AK with my uncle who is crazy when it comes to hunting. He has a moose, a Himalayan Tahr, a red stag, a deer, a cougar, 5 elk, and one other deer from new zealand, plus a couple bear.For 50 years I've been in love with the .270 Win. Doesn't kick much, easy to shoot, wonderful ballistics and common ammo. I've killed my share of deer, elk and black bear with it. Might want something bigger for griz or moose but I've never hunted them.
I don't know why they seemed to fade away as most of my friends preferred them years ago even when mil surp 30-06's where plentiful. Can't knock the .06 or .308 or mags though. They are wonderful rounds.
Cheers.
