You can ask 100 guys what is the best and you will get 100 different answers..

On an aside note...

I was chatting with a guy from Ohio and he was telling me that for years they could only hunt deer with a shotgun.They don't want large calibers because of the densely populated areas.
Then someone in government decided to allow straight walled pistol ammo for deer hunting such as .357mag .44 rem mag .45 long colt and such because these rounds would not carry far and don't really produce and lot of energy.
Buddy told me that there was a run on .45-70 leverguns as they are a straight walled pistol round..lol

Goverments don't always think things out do they?

I don't fully agree with their philosophy regarding recommended rifles. I think in that sort of situation all hunters should use the largest caliber they are comfortable with. A .270 on Alaskan brown bear? Not a chance. As far as the muzzle brake issue it should be by choice, if you have to muzzle brake your 300 Weatherby but can drive tackS with it at 500 yards who cares, plug your ears.
