I have a differant prospective. Inside 100 yards I like my 350 Rem Mag, or it's twin the 35 Whelen. Oh I may be out calling preditors alright, but in my neck of the woods Wolves, Black Bears, and Grizzlies are preditors. I like to carry a T/C Contender in .223 for Foxes, and Coyotes, but for the bigger stuff I like the .35s.
For ranges beyond 100 yards I like the 30-06. 125gr Speer TNTs and 180 gr Nosler Partitions.
