Plains game - 9.3x62 CZ 550 like a pocket 375. It would also have a purpose here in PA. I used one in NC on small bodied WT even. 286 gr bullet is fairly common. It's affordable to shoot and light enough on the shoulder for plenty of practice. I would much prefer something I could shoot a lot before hand. Weight plays a big factor as well. My custom MR 7-08 weighed 5.5 lbs. It was "Snappier" than either a 30-378 or a 338 LM. They both tipped past 10lbs. with really long barrels. With a brake I don't mind the big guns. A brake on a 375 that you can cap for the trip my be a good option as well. I think AHR still offers this on their CZ based customs.
