    30-06, there's not much that it won't kill and there's plenty of different loads if your a reloader, and brass is plentiful

    those are some very good calibers to choose from, and a very tough choice. I shoot best with my remington 700 .270. Dont really know why. I would argue for any of these calibers though.

    Stuff in the .458" cal or greater range. I have no use for anything less than "45" caliber.

    7.5x55

    I love my K31 and its one of the few guns I have that I can actually use for hunting.

    Out of those you listed, 30.06 of course has the best ballistics data. So that would be my choice.
