[dagger dog]

.22 rimfire

45-70 Goverment

 

[wheelgunslinger]

beagh to mor:

22- fun
30-30 handy
30-06 ubiquitous
375 H&H classic, flat shooting, and powerful
50 BMG Goes through walls, buffalo, bad guys, and shoots flat and far.

 

[ADKWOODSMAN]

Hard to choose:
.22 lr
.222 Remington
.270 Win.
7mm-08
.358 Win. and other 35's

I've never worked with the .243 family or anything bigger then the .35 Whalen so my choices could change.

 

[mljdeckard]

.257 Roberts -My dad's old Rem 760 in this one makes both of us look like really good shots.

.270 Win/'06 Springfield -I would be lying if I said I was a serious enough shooter to really grasp and significant difference between the two.

22-250 -Fun all day long, as far as I can shoot, won't destroy my shoulder.

7.62x39 -It's not really the round so much as the rifles that shoot them.

.308 Win -One round to be forced to do everything, this is the one.

 

[JustsayMo]

22lr -inexpensive, fun, effective in several platforms
30-30 -comparatively inexpensive, fun and rifles that shoot it are among my favorites.
30-06 -About as versatile as they make. Effective on a broad spectrum of game animals. Great bolt, pump and auto platforms
45-70 -Tops for grin factor, VERY effective on critters even at blackpowder levels, fun to shoot.

I can't decided on the fifth... Probably a pistol caliber in a carbine.

 

[Afy]

.22 LR, .222 Remington magum, .300 Win Mag

and would like to add 6.5x47 Lapua and the .338 Lapua Magnum as well.

Have the first three in addition to the 8x57J currently. What can I say... in Europe we use wierd calibers....
