270 Winchester

S.S. · « **Reply #33 on:** June 26, 2007, 07:19:23 AM »

Not the best for all jobs, but my all around favorite is the 7.92x57 Mauser.
(since we can't choose the .30-30)

6.5 - 260Rem

Do I need to say? .257 and .257 Roberts Cartridge.

Mauser · « **Reply #37 on:** June 29, 2007, 05:34:35 AM »

Why can't we say 30-06? IMHO it is the greatest cartridge ever developed. Setting aside the '06 my favorite is the 7 x 57 Mauser-parent of the '06. A distant 2d (3rd) would be the 375 H&H. Nothing post WWI for me.

I think we have so many good cartridges that we confuse ourselves, so it is difficult for me to pick one. I don't use this one very much, yet it has a very broad potential for excellence in many applications at a variety of bullet weights and constructions. When I have used it the results have always been excellent. I own more rifles for this cartridge than any other - yet by the default of being too busy I choose others (the old standbys) more for hunting. But really, this is the cartridge that intrigues me the most and when I am retired, I intend to reload more and explore more. The good old 6.5 Swede.

7x57mm · « **Reply #39 on:** June 29, 2007, 07:18:40 AM »

My favorite caliber is 7mm. My favorite cartridge is the 7x57mm in a modern rifle. It just gets the job done, period! Tom Purdom

7-08 hands down-light kick, super accurate and deadly on white tail.

Bear Wallow · « **Reply #41 on:** December 10, 2008, 05:25:42 AM »

6mm Remington

lrs · « **Reply #42 on:** December 10, 2008, 08:52:10 AM »

OK, 30-06 is my go to gun. It's all I need and more for where I live, and the hunting that I do.
But my favorite is the 9.3x62

Tackleberry · « **Reply #43 on:** December 10, 2008, 09:31:44 AM »

.338 as in .338-06 like this one....built summer 2007

wareagleguy · « **Reply #44 on:** December 10, 2008, 10:41:45 AM »

sonofafish · « **Reply #45 on:** December 10, 2008, 10:43:30 AM »

All of the above,but have say 7mm STW

Dixie Dude · « **Reply #46 on:** December 10, 2008, 10:50:24 AM »

I knew that the 30-06 or 30-30 would be the majority if I asked. I just wanted to know what was the next most popular. I am really surprised at the 6.5 Swede caliber.

LONGTOM · « **Reply #47 on:** December 10, 2008, 11:12:26 AM »

You did have to say caliber, or I would have said 3'mag #4buck in a 12 ga.
Anyway, 270wsm, 45-70, 307win., 225win., 45colt!!!

Well, add me to that list too. I'd have to say it's my favorite to load for and the most pleasurable to shoot. Those Swedes and Norwegians came up with a winner in that cartridge.

Tunaman · « **Reply #49 on:** December 10, 2008, 11:36:12 AM »

I really like the 257 in either the Bob or Weatherby depending on what the range is.

45north · « **Reply #50 on:** December 10, 2008, 03:36:49 PM »

375 H&H nothing else.

When I grew up my dad bought all the hunters in the house a 30-06! He refused to buy us anything but a 30-06! He was right! I own 3 30-06 rifles to date!The game you shoot usually drop and flop with that 30-06! (30 cal so many bullet variations whats not to love) Dale

jro45 · « **Reply #52 on:** December 11, 2008, 02:16:54 AM »

My favorite calber is 30 Cal in the 300 RUM and the 458 Calber mine is the CZ model 550 458 Lott.
I also have another favorite the 338 RUM, I also have another, My 300 Win Mag.

7mm mouser as my dad calls it. Never fails

AtlLaw · « **Reply #56 on:** December 11, 2008, 03:17:06 PM »

Ya know, I thunk and thunk on this question, and I can't say I got a fav-o-rite. $:-\$ I got a good many from 22 through 35 then a gap to 45 and I just can't say I prefer one over the other. Cart-a-ges are kinda like wimmins. Ya got little ones and ya got big ones, but they can all get the job done!

So when I feel the need for companionship I pick one that strikes my fancy at the time, and dance!

jdt48653 · « **Reply #57 on:** December 13, 2008, 09:34:00 AM »

what atlLaw said,without the gap.
