whats your favorite caliber?

[mudgunner49]

I guess if pressed it would have to be the .30's - .30 WCF, .308, .30-40 Krag, .30-06... I'd even have to slide the .303 brit in there, but I'm not much of a magnum guy. Nothing against them it's just that the ones above have always done what I wanted done.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the 6.5x55 Swede. Light recoil, great trajectory, powerful enough for everything in NA. Only drawback I can see is ammo availability. If you reload it's not a problem .

.300WM, 30-06spr, or the .338WM is pretty good too but a little heavy for deer.

It's not a caliber, but I like my rifle chambered with it..I think there needs to be another caliber vs chambered vs cartidge thread so people know what they are talking about. I am not singling you out either glang..

.338 Federal. This cartridge is so good, I would sell my wife before getting rid of mine!!!!

Got some pics of her?

Am I missing something here? Last time I checked the 6.5x55SE is a rifle cartridge. Many rifles available in this caliber!

I agree with noneck and glang, It's interesting that some do not realize the difference between cartridge and caliber.
The .25 is a caliber and my favorite .25 caliber cartridge is the....

308 or 30-06 for me. Cause when or if I make it to become and ole bugger, I know I will still be able to handle it and shoot it well. Cheap and readily available ammo at just about every where that sells hunting stuff.

 

[HattStrat]

I really like to 308

 

[Dench]

.243 the deer slayer.

 

[Ardent]

.375" is my favourite caliber, and .375 H&H my favourite chambering.

 

[blasted_saber]

.308 WIN is my favourite cartridge. Vanilla I know, but the fact its cheap to shoot, can knock down any big game with ease if I do my part, and is available everywhere, with lighter recoil then the 3006, makes it King in my book.

 

[jethro66]

270 wsm for me.

I've been using a 270 win for big game since I was a teenager, and just last month I decided to go crazy and get myself a.... 308.

And yes, when I go to the "64,000 flavours of ice cream" type stores I also get vanilla. I happen to like vanilla.

favorite calibre

Depends for what ... but ...

Overall I like my . 308 Win

Just for shooting my 22 LR

Close range my 44 RemMag

Mid range my 30.30 Win

Just cant have one !

 

[shanedapane]

.338 Lapua is my favorite to shoot down range.

As for hunting I pick .300 WM as long as I'm going after something bigger than a coyote.
