"best" modern factory cartridge

[Tac-O]

I'm curious to know what people think is the best modern factory cartridge considering the following criteria:

1. Abundance of factory ammunition and variety
2. Modern design - Minimal case taper and 30-35* shoulder
3. Quality brass available
4. 7mm or 30cal.

I think 300wsm is a candidate, but factory ammo support isn't abundant as other cartridges

Simple for me 30-06. May miss one mark by a few degrees. Everything else....well pretty well kills them.

This is ridiculous.

I think I nailed it with 06....its just over a century. If I had said ROCK or STICK....that might be too old. LOL

RUM's. Final answer.

It would be a 7mm if a manufacturer would come out with and market a modern 7mm cartridge. Then give it a cool name base on an acronym. Acronyms are cool these days. It's like talking in code and only the hippest riflemen knows what it stands for. All jokes aside, this is just my opinion and that statement is just like everyone else's...... an opinion.

Sorry, not really trying to derail your thread in its infancy.

This is ridiculous.

I agree. I'm just going to go ahead and say 6.5cm wins
