Caliber guide

• .308 Winchester: best for deer, hogs, black bear and targets
• 6.5 Creedmoor: best for deer, black bear and long-range targets
• .243 Winchester: best for deer, pronghorn and varmints
• .30-06 Springfield: best for deer, elk and moose
• .270 Winchester: best for deer, pronghorn and sheep
• .22-250 Remington: best for varmints and coyotes
• 7mm PRC: best for elk, mule deer and long-range targets
• .300 Winchester Magnum: best for elk, moose and long-range targets

If you mostly shoot paper and steel, lean toward the 6.5s and 6mm ARC. For deer and black bear, the .308, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm-08 are hard to beat. For elk at distance, look at the 7mm PRC and magnums.
