270 to 300wm when I was 17. Shot that 300wm for years until I developed a horrible flinch that I couldn’t get over and started the down hill roll in calibers.
300wm to 300h&h (actually LOVE my 300h&h)
300h&h to 308/270
308/270 to 6.5 creed
6.5 creed to 257 Weatherby (love this gun too)
257wby to 6.5 PRC
6.5-PRC to 6.5-284 Norma
Only reason I went from 6.5 prc to Norma was I was gifted a custom in the Norma and found the prc redundant. I would have stuck with the prc otherwise.
Went until I found the one I shoot the best (no flinch, spot hits, puts animals down quickly).
6.5-284 Norma matches PRC in ballistics. I’ve sourced some pretty cheap ammo that is 100% on dead animals within 60 yards. 140 Nosler Match BTHP
Wounds are absolutely devastating on whitetails, coyote and black bear without much meat loss unless I hit directly on the shoulder. Even then rounds make it past the blade before major expansion (explosion).
