Pick 3 **centerfire cartridges** to cover NA game

My earlier choices (.22-250, 7X57, .35 Whelen) were the "practical" three... my "favorite" three would likely be;

6mm Rem
7X57 Mauser
.358 Win

And, ;) for my clarification, my three "practical" choices were;
- 219 Donaldson Wasp
- 308 Norma Magnum
- 375 H&H
My "favorite" three would be
- Schultz & Larsen model 68DL, in 7x61 S&H
- Schultz & Larsen model 65DL, in 308 Norma Magnum
- Schultz & Larsen model 68DL, in 358 Norma Magnum



:d :d :d
 
Well John I never get tired.of.that photo.

My original choices were.....
25-06
300wm
375 Rum

I will play these cards, no draw needed.

25-06 for..deer with a side of predator.

300wm as a one gun battery for anything in.NA.

375 RUM because I have.one, a never sell item for a peckerwood with too many rifles, that truly is equal to anything walking this earth and for most that ever did.

:) Thanks guy. Years ago, after seeing my first Schultz & Larsen, ;) I was hooked. I decided to get the three shown on the cover of the old Norma reloading manual. Apparently the three calibres were a collaborative effort between Schultz & Larsen and Norma. My first was the 308 NM and it's served me well, especially on Moose. I have used it on Mule Deer hunts on draw in Alberta in more recent years. A couple of years ago, the 7x61 S&H got the call for a long awaited Antelope Draw, also in Alberta. Next go round with Mr. Moose, it'll be time for an outing for the 358 NM :d .
 
.22 Long Rifle for the little critters,
.223 Remington for the bigger critters,
.308 Winchester for any thing bigger then a critter.;)

Ultimately is depends on range and legal requirements for certain game. So on that note the .308 may need to upgraded to something with a little more knock down energy at those farther distances, but for most any game (barring perhaps Bison) .308 should work well with the right projectile.

My working guns (Not afraid to get them dirty!)
223
6.5x55
9.3x62

Pretty one's
222
7x57
375 H&H

I think my "working" 3 are practical for anything I have had occasion to shoot, the 375 has never been a "need" for the NA game I see, but I have a thing for Brno's in classic cal's
