All,
I was having a bit of think and a musing with a shooting and reloading buddy of mine. And we were wondering what the best “family” of cartridges for reloading would be?
It seems you have the following choices which will do most things you want might conceivably wish to do bar a serious dangerous game rifle.
308W
Varmint / light deer: .243 W
Deer Rifle: 7-08 or .308W
Heavy hitter / brush stopper: .338 Fed or .358W
x57mm
Varmint / light deer: .257 Roberts
Deer Rifle: 7x57 or 8x57
Heavy hitter / brush stopper: 9.3x57
'06 Sprg.
Varmint / light deer: .25-'06
Deer Rifle: .270W or .30-'06
Heavy hitter / brush stopper: .338-'06
Basically thinking, if you were to only use one type of brass or family of cartridges, what would you use?
