What Rifle Caliber's left to get?
Some I have, Some I don't, but this is my ideal list, any shortcomings you see? What else do I need? or don't need? Rifle list....don't worry about shotguns/muzzleloaders.
.22 LR
.22-250 Rem.
.243 Win.
.270 Win.
.300 Win. Mag. (might trade for a.300 WSM lightweight model)
.340 Wby.
.375Ruger? H&H?
.416? (which .416? Rem? Rigby? Ruger/wildcat?)
.458 Lott
.577 NE (dream double, maybe one day...)
also have a 6.5mm Rem. Mag and a .30-30, though I don't include them in my ideal list.

Yah... got the 22LR in there, no surprise.
Nice cartridge spacing.
Regarding the upper end.... go to www.accuratereloading.com and go to African or Big Bore forums, do a search and you'll find plenty of guidance according to different philosphies by people that actually have rifles in the cartridges you are thinking of versus folks that are simply hypothisizing.

"....Gentlemen, I can't believe you left out the most importantcaliber of all:
30-06"
30-06"
In the aforementioned line up, I'd take a 300WinMag over a 30-06 any day, even though I have a 30-06 and it has served well.

EKM, you sound like you have similar philosophies as me, what do you think of the new .300 WSM? I have the .300 Win. Mag, and the .340 wby, I'm thinking a lighter setup in the .300 wsm as my lightweight mtn rifle would be a nice combo, rather than 2 large, 300 and .340 rifles.
