    I’m just now starting the process of getting a PAL. We’re going to buy a shotgun and some sort of rifle and a good scope. I don’t know anything about rifles and best calibers so that’s going to take some research.

      You don’t have to worry too much about calibers, it’s basically splitting hairs. 12gauge for the shotgun, and for the rifle go with what can be found everywhere: 308, 30-06

        Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I assume most of those rounds are going to be about the same for the meat on the receiving end. I have to look at see what rounds are allowed at my local shooting range and pick from that.

          Yeah they all (centre fire calibers) do the same thing when it comes down to it. Swedes hunt all their moose with a small 7mm round. Take a look at the ammo available in walmart, Canadian tire, the countryside gas station and choose one of those. Nothing fancy
