What’s your favorite cartridge?

I currently have 5. A brace of Remington 760s, a BSA, a Parker-Hale and a sporterized '03. What got me started was a 1948 Model 70. Unfortunately, for me, I gave it back to the gent I had bought it from, as it was his father's. Always wanted a Mannlicher in .270. I have two carbines in 30-06, but never got one on .270.

I'm a lefty, I have 2 left hand stocked 760's in 270, 3 in 06', one has a brake. A browning BAR safari II 270, an OLD savage 110 lefty 270, thats like new & the A bolt 😀
 
I absolutely love the 378 Weatherby but for every day shooting the 243W & 6mmRem
What's yours?
My favorite cartrige is the 30-378 WM since the first time I pulled the trigger, I started out shooting 150 and 165 gainers and have slowly moved up to even slower powders and heavier 210 - 215 grain pills. It'll make you giggle everytime you pull the trigger and hear the smack ! on what ever it hits.
Also have and old 06 (my first hunting rifle) thats been a lot of fun over the years, my ruger 10/22 for plinking/varmints is always good entertainment, and the 223rem and 243win has been a mainstay for fun shooting and hunting.

Beautiful choices! I've had a 10/22 since I was 12, 55now. That 30-78 Weatherby gotta scream with 150-165's. 😀 I've had a M70 06' since 82' 😀
 
I have two. A 6.5 x 284 and a 28 Nosler.
They are my current favorites because they are really packable hunting rifles and they absolutely stack bullets in the same hole.
I've always been interested in the 6.5/284
What are actual velocities with 140's?
Reloading manuals IMO download this round since the NEEDMORE
 
The 300 RUM may be my favorite factory cartridge but in wildcat format that would be my 338 SKULDRYL with my favorite axe the Ibanez PIA

2nd pic is a Rem 700 LSS 300 RUM with the Ibanez JEM7...
