Best Possible Caliber

[royinidaho]

How about this....

If you don't reload, spend the money that you'd spend on a basic set up. Then load the 06 with the lightest fastest bullet it will shoot well.

If you already reload then load the 06 with the lightest fastest bullet it will shoot well.

That way you're into what you want to do way cheaper and more versatile than you otherwise would be.

With that experience under your belt you'll know better what you want.

But if you wanna new/additiional rifle by something with the first two numbers of 22 ie, 222, 223, 22-250, 220 Swift.

But I'd give serious tho't to the ol' 06 just to getcha goin'.
