Great thread. Someone smarter than me should put the answers on a bar graph. Maybe if the particular cartridge has more than 5 votes. I'd do it but I still balance a checkbook with a wooden pencil.

Here's mine

17wsm
20 practical
22 creedmoor
6sst
25-280AI 7.5tw
6.5SS
270win

338 edge

22-250
.243Win
25-06
6.5-06
.270 Win (1:8tw 156HH@3200fps)
7/08
300Win Mag all day long! (196HH@3150 fps!)
338Win Mag
357 Remington Maximum (140SH@2700fps!)

 

[Mr. Magoo]

22-250
.243Win
25-06
6.5-06
.270 Win (1:8tw 156HH@3200fps)
7/08
300Win Mag all day long! (196HH@3150 fps!)
338Win Mag
357 Remington Maximum (140SH@2700fps!)

How are you getting 3200 for 156 in 270Win? Super long barrel?
Edit: did some reading around here and it looks like RL26 is really bringing up the velocities of the heavier bullets in 270. That said, I didnt find anywhere yet where its hitting 3200 for the 156's. Care to share some info?

If you were to compile your favorite cartridges one only for each caliber from .224 up to 338 what would you choose? I'm always thinking about condensing my rifles and calibers down to a handful but it's so hard to choose. Instead of asking if you could have just one of each caliber, What is your favorite hunting cartridge for each caliber? .224, .243, .257, .264, .277, .284, .308, .338

I Think at the moment my choices would be:
22-250 fast twist of course
6 creedmoor
25 creedmoor
6.5 prc
270 Winchester
7 saum
300 prc
338 rum

Only 1 per? Ugh, but here goes:

223AI 1/8tw (Tough decision between the 22/250AI 1/8tw, but the 223AI's have seen multiples more shot
6mmRAI
25-06
260AI 1/8tw
270W (No longer have the 270 Gibbs)
7mmRemMag
300RUM (Another tough call, for my 30-06's have killed much more game)
338Win

25 creedmoor
6.5 prc
270 Winchester

338 rum

Just based on what I have in the current line-up:
260 Rem
7mm STW
300 H&H Mag
35 Whelen

Pretty sure I don't need anything else unless I go to Africa (and I hope my wife doesn't read this because she'll say "I read where you said you didn't need anything else...so what's a 33 Nosler?"

A couple of hot rods and the rest are your standard meat getters, but those are my pics, all of them in different make/models. I like the idea for this thread. Have a great afternoon.
