My favorite calibers to shoot are my beloved .280 and the .308. I love my .280 for deer, elk, bears, wolves and coyotes. I would like to find the time to get out and try some long-range shooting someday, as that seems like it could be a blast, and I have only shot a .338 one time. My friend refers to it as a “loud ‘n boomer”. I must say that is an appropriate nickname, too.
If you’re trying to figure out what caliber to purchase while chasing a certain type of critter, here’s a poster from hunter-ed.com that can help you decide:
