Caliber & Ammo Recommendations

.270 is the minimum caliber recommended for plains game

Common calibers that work well are the .270 Win-Mag, 7-08 Rem, 7×57 Mauser, 280 Rem, any of the 7mm Mags, 308 Win, 30-06, 300 Magnums, 338-06, 338 Win, .35 Whelen, .375 H&H, etc

Anything that is good for Elk hunting, will work well on plains game animals

Use heavy bullets for the caliber

Most shots will not exceed 100 yards
